[Adopted 7-8-2003 by L.L. No. 9-2003]
The Town Board of the Town of Coxsackie hereby expresses and
acknowledges its support of § 308 of Article 25AA of the
Agriculture and Markets Law, which added a new section to the Agriculture
and Markets Law of the State of New York establishing for the first
time a statutory right to farm. It addresses sound agricultural management
practices in an attempt to limit the commencement of private nuisance
suits against farmers. The state right-to-farm law provides that an
agricultural practice shall not constitute a public or private nuisance
so long as it constitutes a sound agricultural practice.
