A court rulling last Friday may help Nebraska livestock producers seeking operating permits in the state. Basically, if a producer meets all Department of Environmental Quality and local zoning rules, the producer has the opportunity to appeal should the permit be denied.
It gives livestock producers who have met the standards appeal a denial that is based on emotion or local politics.
That's good news, because livestock and poultry producers add a lot of value to Nebraska commodities -- like corn and soybean meal. And in the process, the add billions and billions to the local and state economies.
A good story about the ruling appeared in the Grand Island Independent.
