The executive director of the Missouri Pork Association says county led lawsuits that began as an attempt to regulate swine farms at the local level is likely on its way to the Missouri Supreme Court.
Don Nikodim tells Brownfield Missouri Pork is involved in the litigation against Cooper and Cole Counties and their fight against Senate Bill 391 which prevents county ordinances from being more stringent than state regulations.
“That goes back to regulating what counties can and can’t do in terms of implementing rules and regulations without any scientific basis,” Nikodim said.
