Equine Rules

The SADC on June 26, 2008, adopted rules that expand the list of protected activities under the Right to Farm Act to include equine-related service activities as well as complementary equine activities provided these complementary activities meet certain conditions; set forth the agricultural management practices with which farmers would need to comply to be eligible for protections of the Act; and detail what income may be used to satisfy the production requirements in the definition of "commercial farm" in the Right to Farm Act.
