This compilation, issued by the RI Farm Bureau, is designed to be a guide for farmers to the maze of Rhode Island General Laws specific to agriculture. It does not make the maze simpler. It just enables finding where specific issues are located within the maze. Its purpose is to help farmers be more efficient in finding the provisions of law that apply to their operations.

If you have a photo (or two or three) of your farm, would you be willing to share them with us? Your farm from a drone, sunsets or sunrise over your fields, produce or livestock, family working together (remember… only photos showing safe practices, please), anything you’d be pleased to see on another Farm Bureau’s site or on FB or Instagram.
