Any person who seeks to complain about the operation of a farm shall first seek a remedy from a town designated agricultural agent. If a remedy is not found then the person can file a grievance with the Department of Agriculture depending upon the nature of the grievance. The filing of the grievance does not suspend the time within which to pursue any other available remedies that the aggrieved may have. Depending on the circumstances of the grievance, the Department of Agriculture or Department of Health shall review and facilitate the resolution of the grievance, and report its recommendations to the referring town authority within an agreed upon time frame. The Board of Health, except in cases of imminent danger or public health risk, may forward a copy of the grievance to the Department of Agriculture or its agent, which shall review and facilitate the resolution of the grievance.
