Agri tourism faces high insurance costs and regulatory risk
New Mexico farmers Kim and Pat Chesser and Andrew Graves described rising insurance rates, denial of coverage, and fear of frivolous lawsuits as they run Burnt Well Guest Ranch and Graves Farm and Garden near Roswell. They host 1597 visitors from 45 states and 24 countries and welcome field trips, farm festivals, and corn mazes. Legislators heard their plea for balancing safety, liability, and support for small agri-tourism businesses amid EPA and BLM rules threatening oil and gas producers.
