Senate debating ‘Right to Farm’ expansion
The Senate is debating HB 210, the expansion of Idaho's "Right to Farm" law to protect expansions of ag operations from nuisance claims or local ordinances declaring them nuisances "There really is no one in agriculture, no one, who wants to be found to be a bad actor," said Sen. Tim Corder, R-Mountain Home. "No one wants to be a bad neighbor." He said the measure won't protect anyone who violates laws. "An expansion cannot be denied purely on the basis of being a nuisance," Corder told the Senate. "It could be denied on the basis of water quality, it could be denied on the basis of size, it would be denied on a number of other bases. Nothing will change that prospect."
