Great Lakes Greenhouses Inc. is taking the matter to the Normal Farm Practices Protection Board. The company alleges the Municipality of Leamington bylaw is restricting a normal farm practice. “What has transpired is Great Lakes and I presume there to be a fair number of others that will take this to a situation called the Normal Farm Practices Board because lighting is considered a normal farm practice as it is writing in the regulations,” says Joseph Sbrocchi, general manager of the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers Association.
