County of Winona (Land Stewardship Project Intervention)"},"content":{"rendered":"

This case was a dispute over the dramatic expansion of a dairy operation. The authority of local government hung in the balance. <\/span><\/b>In a bid to get around the clear will of the people for the economic benefit of just a few, Daley Farm sought to divide the people of Winona County, MN, by spreading falsehoods about the work of Land Stewardship Project, a sustainable ag champion across Minnesota. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FarmSTAND represented LSP at the appellate level of its intervention in a lawsuit by Daley Farm against the county. The factory farm operator was twice denied a permit to expand its dairy operation by the local government, due to a law limiting the size of agricultural operation feedlots within Winona County. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than accept those denials, Daley Farm sued Winona County\u2019s government, claiming that the rejections were biased and the result of a conspiracy. They claimed that the county\u2019s permit denial was invalid because some members of local government have connections to Land Stewardship Project: an organization that works across Minnesota to promote sustainable agriculture and develop healthy communities. Daley Farm lost its suit, but appealed.  <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FarmSTAND fought alongside LSP at the appellate level of this case because what Daley Farm attempted to do through the courts is a harbinger of what agribusiness wants to do to more rural communities around America. We cannot allow smear campaigns against those potentially harmed by the presence of a factory farm in their vicinity to render local environmental laws unenforceable. <\/span> In a victory for LSP and rural communities in Minnesota, the appeals court affirmed the lower court\u2019s ruling <\/span>and the Minnesota Supreme Court denied Daley Farm\u2019s petition for further review of the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FarmSTAND is appellate counsel for LSP, working with Public Justice and the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (counsel for fellow intervenor Defenders of Drinking Water) on this case. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
