Moniteau County, Missouri, is proposing a health ordinance that addresses concentrated animal feeding operations. The proposal mirrors the ordinance in Howard County, according to Darrell Hendrickson, environment health specialist for Moniteau County. “It is somewhat more restrictive [than Missouri DNR regulations] on setback distances,” Hendrickson told Brownfield Ag News Thursday. “That would be the amount of distance that you can apply the waste to your ground.” The proposal was in the works when the Missouri Legislature passed Senate Bill 391, said Hendrickson.
