Pennsylvania Statewide Rule
Pennsylvania's Right to Farm Act (Act 133 of 1982, 3 P.S. Β§951 et seq.) protects established agricultural operations from local nuisance lawsuits and overly restrictive municipal ordinances. Operations in existence for at least one year and following normal agricultural practices are presumed not to be a nuisance. Municipalities cannot enact ordinances that restrict normal ag activities.
