Otto’s Turkey Farm: 180 years and six generations

There was a time when nearly every country road in Barry County was lined with family farms. Dairy cattle grazed in the pastures, chickens scratched around the barnyard, and the changing seasons determined much of the farmer’s daily routine. Farming was not simply an occupation but a way of life, and the family farm was often handed down from one generation to the next. Today, many of those farms have disappeared, their barns stand empty or their fields have since been converted into residential developments. Yet, here and there, we find remarkable exceptions where the land remains in the hands of descendants of the original pioneer settlers. One such example is Otto’s Turkey Farm, located at 7640 West State Road near Middleville, where the same family has been farming for 180 years.

Lansing City Council OKs tax deal for 440 apartments to boost housing

The Lansing City Council unanimously approved on Nov. 9 four 15-year workforce housing development incentives for Simtob Management Investment, about three years after the city settled a lawsuit with the company intended to bring the red-tagged Holmes Apartments complex into code compliance. The incentives are PILOTs, or payments in lieu of taxes agreements, which are often used by cities for certain housing developments. They are put in place as an alternative to a property owner paying traditional property taxes. The Lansing company will pay a total of about $205,000 for four apartment buildings in 2027 rather than their normal share of property taxes for Baltic Flatz, 916 W. Cavanaugh Road; Carolina Flatz, 4318 Pleasant Grove Road; Pacific Flatz, 1401 E. Kalamazoo St., and Ventnor Flatz, 1115 Dorchester Circle. In 2027, the four properties would have otherwise had a tax bill of about $713,000. City officials said the payment will increase every year and Simtob Management will have to submit annual audits to the city. If the company doesn't pay its bill, it will have
