2-3201. Protection of farmland and agricultural activities; purpose.
It is the declared policy of this state to conserve and protect and encourage
the development and improvement of farmland for the production of food and
other agricultural products. The legislature finds that agricultural activities
conducted on farmland in areas in which nonagricultural uses have moved
into agricultural areas are often subjected to nuisance lawsuits, and that
such suits encourage and even force the premature removal of the lands from
agricultural uses. It is therefore the purpose of this act to provide agricultural
activities conducted on farmland protection from nuisance lawsuits.
