We're all losers in the end; 'right to farm' in Westport

Painting by Irish artist Molly Judd in her show “Losing Stories,’’ at Dedee Shattuck Gallery, Westport, Mass., June 11-23.

All 50 states have “right-to-farm’’ laws to try to protect qualifying farmers and ranchers from nuisance lawsuits by individuals who move into rural and exurban areas where normal farming operations exist, and who later use nuisance actions to try to stop those ongoing operations.
