Preface

This handbook is designed to provide an accurate summary of the principal Florida laws that directly or indirectly relate to agriculture and a basic overview of many rights and responsibilities that farmers and farmland owners have under Florida laws. Many readers may value this handbook because it informs them about these rights and responsibilities, and it provides them with the appropriate contacts for more detailed information. However, the reader should be aware that because the laws, administrative rulings, and court decisions on which this handbook is based are subject to constant revision, portions of this handbook could become outdated at any time.
