Open house for unique Wisconsin dairy barn sparks debate over grade A status
The Johnsons near Polk County host an open house for a 36 by 109 foot precast concrete dairy barn with a liquid manure pit, the only one of its kind in Wisconsin. State officials say it does not meet grade A codes due to the manure pit and grated gutters, and no formal application for grade A was filed before construction. Despite opposition, lawmakers pressed for review as plans to build a second similar barn proceed amid debate over odor and methane risks and Interstate Milk Shapers guidance.
