A Right to Farm ordinance will be discussed during the annual Town Meeting in Sherman on Saturday.  The proposal is meant to protect farmers from nuisance complaints while allowing regular farming activities to take place. 

The state does already have a Right to Farm ordinance, which is nearly verbatim to the local proposal.  The Board of Selectmen says that's a concern, because it's a repetitive law. 

The state law exempts farms that meet specified conditions, and follow generally accepted agricultural practices, from certain nuisance laws about  odor, noise, and other objectionable farming by-products. 

The local ordinance will be voted on during the Annual Town Meeting at 9am.
