The town of Charlton established a right-to-farm law in 1996. The law is well integrated with the state Agricultural Districts Law. The law establishes a farmer’s right to conduct reasonable and necessary agricultural practices subject to some limitations. The right-to-farm law also stipulates that a real estate disclosure notice be attached to a purchase and sale contract at the time an offer to purchase a farm is made. Lastly, the law specifies a local process for resolving agricultural disputes.
