I am not sure that right to farm laws should necessarily apply in urban and suburban settings, typically these uses are “grandfathered” as non-conforming uses and allowed to continue as long as they are not discontinued for a specific time period (In Nebraska that is at least 12 months).  What I find truly offensive about this is that the Farm Bureau supported the findings.  To me that would indicate that they have no real use for the small farmer, hobby farmer, or anyone that is not involved in full blown production agriculture.  Maybe they should change their name to the Factory Farm Bureau.  They seem to have this same attitude in Nebraska.
