Resumen

The purpose of the present Act is to ensure the protection of the agricultural community. The Act contains at the outset a definition clause relating to various terms employed therein such as, for example, “agricultural machinery and equipment”, “agricultural operation”, “Board”, “disturbance”, “farmer”, “normal farm practice”, “processing”. According to section 2, a farmer is not liable in nuisance to any person for a disturbance resulting from an agricultural operation carried on as a normal farm practice. Complaints shall be referred to the Normal Farm Practices Protection Board. In determining whether a practice is a normal farm practice, the Board shall consider the following factors: the effect of the farm practice on abutting lands and neighbours; whether the relevant by-law reflects a provincial interest and, finally, the specific circumstances pertaining to the site. The text consists of 13 sections.
