Purpose.

1. The general assembly finds all of the following: a. Agriculture is a vital part of this state’s economy, culture, and history. b. An increasing number of Iowans are removed from day-to-day farm life and associated agricultural experiences. c. Agricultural tourism provides a valuable opportunity for the general public to understand farm life and associated agricultural experiences. d. Farming includes a number of hazards which cannot be removed for the benefit of visitors to a farm without detracting from the farm experience visitors receive, including the daily experience of working on a farm. 2. The general assembly declares that uncertainty regarding the potential liability associated with places on a farm and the inherent risks of farming have a negative impact upon the establishment and success of agricultural tourism and its benefits to the people of this state. 2021 Acts, ch 104, §4
