Right to farm report released
The Right to Farm Advisory
Committee report released by
Ontario Agriculture Minister Jack
Riddell calls for new legislation to
protect farmers carrying on normal
farming practices from nuisance
actions by neighboring property
owners.
“The new legislation, as re
commended by the committee
would address a number of key
issues,' ’ said committee chairman
Donald Dunn.
“It would protect farmers from
nuisance actions under common
law provided they were using
normal farming practices. It would
require permit criteria for future
farm-related severances, and for
the construction of new livestock
facilities and residences in agricul
tural areas. Minimum separation
distances would be used as one of
the criteria for a permit.’’
Members of the minister’s
advisory committee were Otto
Crone, Hagersville; Barnie Evans,
Embro; Ralph Ferguson, Watford;
Dorothy Middleton, Chrysler; Earl
Muir, Niagara-on-the-Lake; and
chairman Donald Dunn, director of
the ministry’s foodland preserva
tion branch.
