I have not read the complaint, but I have one issue with all of this. I support the right to farm act and property rights. In this case however, this woman purchased the property from PEC at below market value because of the restrictions contained in the easement. She was aware of the easement before she bought the farm, and like it or not, PEC (and VOF) have property rights here as well. She signed the agreement that was entered by the court. Why is there still an issue?
