DNR taking another look at a 4,200 cow Wisconsin dairy
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says it is going to take another look at the permit for a proposed 4,200-cow dairy farm in Adams County. The DNR originally ruled Richfield Dairy would not harm groundwater and granted the necessary permit. But a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point hydro geologist, George Kraft says his analysis shows the farm would draw down the aquifer and reduce levels on nearby streams and a lake.
A spokesman for Milk Source, the company building the dairy says they have given the DNR two other studies which show it will not hurt groundwater.
