The question of whether or not spreading a fertilizer made from recycled sewage sludge, known as biosoilids, on a York County farm constitutes a “normal agricultural practice” should be left to a jury, the state Superior Court has ruled.
A split three-judge Superior Court panel ruled April 15 that questions of fact existed as to whether the farm’s use of the fertilizer, which the more than 30 plaintiffs in the case alleged caused severely noxious smells and posed a health hazard, constituted a normal practice under the Right to Farm Act.
