Board defines normal farm practices for muck soil dust control and orders non-compliant farmers to adopt them.

Residents of Marentette Beach and East Beach applied to the Normal Farm Practices Protection Board, alleging they were aggrieved by dust blowing from neighbouring muck soil farms.

The Board found the applicants were aggrieved.

After hearing expert evidence on soil conservation techniques, the Board determined that spring interseeding of onions and carrots, as well as periodic fall ploughing, constitute normal farm practices in the area.

The Board dismissed the applications against the respondents who were already employing these practices, but ordered the remaining respondents to adopt them.
