At the Capitol this afternoon the Senate Agriculture Committee will hear public testimony on what may be the most divisive issue in rural Minnesota: the future of large livestock operations and the environmental problems they cause. The Legislature will consider whether to impose a moratorium on these 'factory farms'. The next feedlot might be just south of St. Peter, in Nicollet County. Many area residents oppose construction of the dairy feedlot, a place for feeding and holding livestock. Farmers and non-farmers alike are fighting the state's potential approval of it. Supporters counter that big dairy is the only way to save Minnesota's dairy tradition. Minnesota Public Radio's Lynette Nyman has this report.
