Commissioner praises local dairy as board notes feedlot permit on consent agenda
Summary
A commissioner highlighted a feedlot permit on the consent agenda and praised one of the county's remaining dairy operations; the speaker noted the county has delegated permitting authority to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
During additional business a commissioner pointed to a feedlot permit on the consent agenda for a local dairy operation and praised the farm's work, saying the remaining dairy farmers are doing "an excellent job." The speaker noted the county board has delegated permitting authority to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for that type of permit.
The comment was a supportive recognition of local farmers rather than a formal request to change the permit; no board action was taken to alter the consent-item permit during the meeting. The transcript includes the speaker's praise in vernacular form: "I just wanna point out the fact that the Kauhi's are still milking cows and doing an excellent job." The speaker also said the county had delegated authority to the MPCA for feedlot permits.
