OGDEN – In an attempt to resolve a dispute between property owners over where farm animals may graze in the village of Ogden, both sides got together with the village board to determine how best to create a buffer between residential properties and the core operations of an agricultural property that is located within the village.

Residents who own homes near the farm, at the dead end of Broadway Street, have complained for several years that the farm's owners have let livestock roam free in the yards of empty houses owned by the farm's owners and some outbuildings also in the residential neighborhood.
