At Tuesday s Watonwan County Board meeting, the board heard reports from Land Management Director Dave Haler and Amanda Lang on 2020 annual feedlot reports from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
The reports came back clean, with no incidents to report and a 100% rating. They were happy with everything that went on and the inspections were really good, said Haler. They didn t ding us on anything so we re in pretty good shape there.
The county inspected 14 feedlots in 2020, and hopes to inspect closer to 30 in 2021.
