Stock Men Fight Rule On Pollution
Morris Minn A former president of the Minnesota Livestock Feeders Association testified that about half of Minnesota 20 000 cattle feeders could go out of business under proposed farm feedlot pollution rules. Charles Berg of Chokio urged a five year delay to July 1975 for compliance, citing small operators. PCA official Floyd Forsberg did not dispute the claim. Berg proposed using a variance clause to excuse enforcement for economic hardship. Most farmers testifying supported the substance of the rules. Hearings run Tuesday to Friday in Worthington St Cloud Moorhead.
