So you're saying he should only have people tell him the good things and he should be unaware of any obstacles? That's pretty cruel. For example, in Pennsylvania, if you own even one chicken you need to have a manure management plan and paperwork on hand in case someone comes knocking. It outlines your entire farm/property, you need to show what waterways are there, where the manure is deposited...HOW it's deposited (so really, even if you have a garden, you need to have this plan in place).
