 The plaintiff lived adjacent to the landlord's field on which the tenant surface spread hog manure within 90 feet of the plaintiff's home. The plaintiff complained to the landlord for almost four years, but the complaints fell on deaf ears. The plaintiff sued, and the court held that the landlord was responsible for the tenant's creation of a nuisance because the landlord knew of the tenant's conduct, its impact on the plaintiff, and did nothing about it. Keeping tabs on what a farm tenant is doing and addressing neighbor complaints can help keep you out of court. This has been the Agricultural Law and Tax Report.
