When "get big or get out" becomes "grow to gargantuan proportions and take up all the resources" it reminds me of Grandma's saying - "I like a pig, but damn a hog."

I oppose the building of yet another CAFO in Minnesota - namely Riverview, LLPs proposed facility for 18,855 dairy cattle in one facility. Not only does an operation of this scale decimate the ability for small farmers to continue to be viable, but i...↓

A proposal requesting removal of 300 million gallons of water from any aquifer that is already a water source for many families should voluntarily agree to do an EIS. AS alarming as water use is, even worse is a request to apply over 200 million...↓

This proposed operation is an unprecedented escalation in scale for Minnesota—nearly double the size of the state's next largest facility in animal units. This isn't just another farm; it is a fundamentally new and dire threat to the survival of Minn...↓

Hello MPCA Staff and Commissioners,
I farmed for 15 years near Kenyon, MN. In my experience even a small confinement dairy can pollute the air within 2 miles of the facility, and the water many miles downstream. It is extremely important as we look a...↓

I support what Land Stewardship Project says about this unprecedented CAFO operation: Minnesota's largest dairy producer has applied to build the first livestock operation in the state to hold over 20,000 animal units. If built, the concentrated anim...↓

A development of this magnitude with the capability to pollute our already fragile water system in this state must at least require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The environmental and social implications Riverview's plan to construct a feedlot of this magnitude alone are appalling. Riverview and CAFO feedlots like it externalize costs, pollute our environment, destroy family farms and deliver no benefit to co...↓

I have lived in Stevens County 46 years. I have farmed here for over 20 years. I currently live less than 1 mile from one of Riverview's existing dairy sites. Riverview has been very respectful of their neighbors. The gravel road I live on is bet...↓

I am grateful to have Riverview as part of our community. I support this project because they are an outstanding company that cares for people, animals, and the environment. The manure produced will replace commercial fertilizer—reducing the need for...↓
