Are Farms a Nuisance?

I read story after story about people who decide they want to live the rural life, then fight like hell to sterilize nature.

Apparently the Farm Bureau folks in Utah have noticed this, in part because a farmer spent $70,000 defending against a nuisance suit brought by neighbors, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

“People move to rural settings because they want the lifestyle and ambiance but the first thing they do is try to change the agricultural operations to make it more convenient for themselves,” the Farm Bureau’s VP of public policy tells the paper.

Will be interesting to see if Utah lawmakers decide to protect farmers from litigation, putting them in a special class.
