Jennie-O Turkey Store (Jackson Farm) - Feedlot Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Jennie-O Turkey Store - Jackson Farm animal feedlot located in Morrison County.

The facility will house 81,760 head of poultry in total confinement barns. Solid manure generated by the animals will be stockpiled with land application fields. Manure generated at the facility will be applied to surrounding cropland at agronomic rates.

This permitting action includes proposed construction of an animal holding area and the demolition of an animal holding area at the facility. The animal unit (AU) capacity will be decreased from 2,438 AU to a final total of 1,880.48 AU.

This permit requires the facility to be designed, operated, and maintained to prevent discharge to waters, except in an extreme storm event. Operators are required to land apply manure at agronomic rates, observe water setbacks, and maintain records of land application activities, including location, timing, and rate of application. Please refer to the draft permit for additional requirements.

MPCA’s feedlot permit strives to protect our lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater by preventing manure from polluting water. The permit applies to most aspects of livestock management including the location, design, construction, operation, and management of feedlots and manure handling facilities. Minnesota has approximately 18,000 registered livestock operations.
