holidays,weekdays,and weekends by night or day and shall include the attendant
incidental noise,odors,dust,and fumes associated with normally accepted

neighborhood,community,and society in general.The benefits and protections
affirmed by this By-law are intended to apply exclusively to those agricultural
operations and activities conducted in accordance with generally accepted
agricultural practices.No benefits and protections are conferred to agricultural
activities whenever adverse impact results from negligence or willful or reckless
misconduct in the operation of any such agricultural or farming operation,place,
establishment or facility or any of its appurtenances.Nothing in this Right to
Farm By-law shall be deemed as acquiring any interest in land,or as imposing
any land use regulation,which is properly the subject of state statute,regulation,
or local zoning law.

acquire or occupy lies within a town where farming activities occur. Such farming
activities may include,but are not limited to,activities that cause noise,dust,and
odors.Buyers or occupants are also informed that the location of property within

ability to access water services for agricultural use under certain circumstances."
Section 6:Resolution of Disputes
Any person having a complaint about a farm or farming activity or practice is
encouraged to seek an amicable solution through resolution directly with the
owner or operator of the farm at issue. Such person may also,notwithstanding the
pursuit of other available remedies,file such a complaint with the Board of
Selectmen.The Board of Selectmen may,at its sole discretion and to the extent
the Board believes resolution of the matter may be facilitated by involvement of
the Town,forward the complaint to the Board of Health,or other appropriate
board or officer,and request that recommendations for resolution be provided
