Local farmers in Wisconsin successfully fought off new regulatory measures after a county board rejected proposed restrictions on agricultural operations. The Pierce County Town of Rock Elm Board voted down an ordinance that had been recommended by a CAFO study committee.
According to Erin Tomasik from the Dairy Business Association, agricultural producers actively engaged in the local political process to voice their concerns. “We’re super appreciative that the” farmers took initiative to participate in the discussion, Tomasik told Brownfield.
The proposed regulations would have imposed additional requirements on concentrated animal feeding operations in the area, but the board ultimately sided with the farming community’s opposition to the new rules.
