To be eligible for the protections of the Right to Farm Act, a commercial farm must be in compliance with agricultural management practices (AMPs) that have been promulgated by the SADC, or with generally accepted agricultural practices.

Listed below are the twelve AMPs the SADC has officially promulgated, with links to courtesy copies of the rules. For an official copy of any rule, visit the SADC rules page and then http://www.lexisnexis.com/populartopics/njcode/. Should a Right to Farm matter concern activities not addressed by one of these AMPs, the SADC or the appropriate County Agriculture Development Board (CADB) will determine whether or not the activities comply with generally accepted operations or practices.
