To guard against future or potential Right to Farm complaints, commercial farms may request that their County Agriculture Development Board (CADB) - or the SADC in counties where no CADBs exist - determine whether their specific operation or practices conform to generally accepted agricultural management practices.

The farm's operation or practices will be entitled to the protections of the Right to Farm Act if the CADB or SADC determines the farm meet the Act's eligibility criteria and the practices or operation conform to generally accepted practices. The input of municipalities must be considered in these cases, especially if the site-specific AMP request involves a potential preemption of municipal regulations.

A formal site-specific AMP process has been established by the Right to Farm Program in its program rules (N.J.A.C. 2-76-2.3). For more information about the site-specific AMP process, contact your CADB or the SADC at (609) 984-2504.
