Court voids protection for farms in nuisance suits
Iowa Supreme Court struck down a 1998 law shielding certain farms from nuisance lawsuits tied to manure odor. Neighbors who challenged the measure argued it violated property rights, ruling 7 to 0 with two abstentions. The decision targets agricultural areas designated in a Kossuth County case involving a 960 acre tract.
