Yates County developed a model Right to Farm law for towns. Typically, local right-to-farm laws document the importance of farming to a town and notify non-farm rural residents that generally accepted agricultural practices are to be expected in farming areas. Additionally, local right-to-farm laws can establish dispute resolution processes to mediate conflicts and avoid expensive legal battles.
