protect and encourage the development and improvement of agricultural

land for the production of food, and other products, and also for its

natural and ecological value. This disclosure notice is to inform

odors. Prospective residents are also informed that the location of

property within an agricultural district may impact the ability to

access water and/or sewer services for such property under certain

circumstances. Prospective purchasers are urged to contact the New York

information or clarification regarding their rights and obligations

under article 25-AA of the Agriculture and Markets Law."
