Sustaining The Herd
Sustaining the Herd is a resource for all things related to sustainability in animal agriculture. We hope to deliver value to listeners by interviewing industry leaders as well as producers involved in sustainability projects. Every two weeks, we'll give a practical perspective on new technologies as well as new rules and regulations affecting the adoption of sustainability-related technologies such as anaerobic digestion and the production of renewable energy.
Sustaining The Herd
Zoning and Permitting - Travis Caspersen and Nick Maaske
What needs to happen for a livestock production facility to be built? What processes exist to ensure facilities are properly located and operated? Back by popular demand, Andrew and Brock are once again joined by Travis Caspersen and Nick Maaske of Settje Agri-Services and Engineering. Travis and Nick previously talked about environmental regulatory compliance and nutrient management for livestock facilities in Episode 8 of Sustaining The Herd. This time they dive into all things related to zoning and permitting for livestock production facilities as they walk through the zoning and permitting process and discuss why the process exists. Join The Herd to dive into this insightful conversation focused on how the environment, public input, and sustainability all come together to sustainably produce protein for a growing population.
