If you think about this too long…it’s just nasty. From the Post-Bulletin:
Attorney General Lori Swanson and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency are suing the operator of a smelly feedlot near Thief River Falls.
Swanson’s office says the lawsuit seeks to have Excel Dairy’s feedlot declared a public nuisance because of air quality violations.
Neighbors have been complaining about the smell coming from the feedlot for more than a month.
The lawsuit also aims make the dairy follow environmental regulations for hydrogen sulfide and stop adding manure into a basin that’s supposed to be covered by a thick crust.
