AGRICULTURAL FAIRS

    We support state level legislation to grant an exemption to all county Agricultural Fairs from the provisions of noise control regulations that establish ambient noise levels and equipment performance standards. '02

    We support state laws and regulations that encourage viable agricultural practices and encourage farmers to operate in a manner that would avoid endangering the safety of the general public. We support an increase in funds to the Maryland Agricultural Fair Board to be used to encourage, through promotion and assistance, agricultural fairs, 4-H exhibits, FFA and other qualifying agricultural events. ’06
