Discover what factory farms are and how an operations ordinance can hold an owner accountable for impacts that may affect a community's health and property rights, especially in the context of local control as discussed by the Wisconsin legislature.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, there are currently 335 permitted factory farms in Wisconsin as of 2023, highlighting the ongoing discussions in the Wisconsin legislature regarding local control over these operations.
There is a direct link between Wisconsin's interstate natural gas pipelines and large factory farms that focus on the production and transportation of biogas generated from the methane in manure. This connection has implications for local control over agricultural practices, which is a topic currently being debated in the Wisconsin legislature.
