That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Miller, who has sold some of his produce at local farmers markets, as well as growing food for himself, is likely the victim of an <a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/Are-Googles-moves-creeping-you-out\/2100-1032_3-6190319.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Aerial Invasion of Private Property.<\/a> This invasion of property is probably due to the fact that unless visited or inspected by an official, there would be no way for there to be an accurate or factual accounting of what was going on at Mr. Millers property.
