The chair of the Wisconsin Ag Board says proposed changes to the state’s livestock siting rule will take a while longer. Miranda Leis tells Brownfield why the ATCP 51 rule proposal did not move forward. “We did not take action on it today, and we had a good discussion at the board about what potential options there might be. You know, at this point, there’s also a lot of uncertainty within the department, a change in leadership, a very unsettling time in a lot of ways, so to try to push it forward in an imprudent way I don’t believe would be in the best interest of the state nor of the department.”
The proposed changes included new setback requirements from roads and property lines, and changes to the odor scoring system.
