An Iowa company wants to build the largest hog farm in Wisconsin, which also would be the first megafarm in the Lake Superior basin, says the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It says “plans for the Bayfield County farm are coming under criticism from some residents who fear that millions of gallons of hog manure will eventually wash off the land and pollute the big lake.” The farm, to be called Badgerwood, is proposed by Reicks View Farms, of Lawler, Iowa. The farm would have 100 boars and 7,500 sows with the owners intending to raise female hogs to maturity. “As details of the farm emerged earlier this year, Bayfield and Iron counties each approved one-year moratoriums on the development of large-scale farms. The moratoriums could be extended for a second year,” says the Journal Sentinel.
