Two bills have been introduced in the 2023 legislative session dealing with fundamental agricultural law questions: LB 591, dealing with farmland leases, and LB 662, dealing with livestock nuisance lawsuits. A third bill deals with weather station funding. While school funding and property tax relief take center stage in the 2023 Unicameral, LB 591 and LB 662 address foundational Nebraska agricultural law issues and are worth discussing.
UNL Agricultural Law and Water Specialist Dave Aiken reviews the details of these bills and their potential implications for Nebraska ag in this Center for Agricultural Profitability article.
