It is the policy of Columbia county and the Town of Copake to conserve,
protect and encourage the development and improvement of farm operations within
our borders for the production for food and other products. Existing and prospective
residents of the Town of Copake should be aware of the inherent potential
conditions associated with farm operations. Such conditions may include but
are not limited to noise, odors, fumes, dust, smoke, storage and disposal
of plant and animal waste products and the application of fertilizers, soil
amendments and pesticides by ground or aerial spraying or other method. Property
owners and residents within the Town of Copake should be aware that farmers
have the right to undertake generally accepted agricultural practices, and
one should expect such conditions as a normal and necessary aspect of living
in such an area.
