RSA 432:32 protects established New Hampshire farms from nuisance suits when operations follow generally accepted agricultural practices and predate complainants.
New Hampshire's Right to Farm law in RSA 432:32 through 432:33 declares it state policy to encourage farming and protect existing operations from nuisance claims. A farm operation in existence for at least one year is presumed not a nuisance if it uses generally accepted agricultural practices and complies with state and federal law. Changes in surrounding land use, including new residential development, cannot serve as the basis for nuisance suits. The law applies to noise, odor, dust, and traffic ordinarily associated with farming.
Plaintiffs filing barred nuisance claims may be ordered to pay defendants' reasonable attorney fees under RSA 432:33.
