Area producers share concerns over proposed Pierce County pig farm

A proposal for a large-scale pig farm in Pierce County has stirred up a familiar debate in North Dakota: how to grow livestock production without sacrificing water, air, or local trust. The plan calls for a 9,300-head facility between Cando and Wolford, but nearby producers worry about manure runoff, odor, and the long-term impact on property values and lakes that feed into Devils Lake. Supporters point to new jobs and economic opportunity. The county commission now faces the task of balancing both priorities. Lindsey Miller with KMOT has the full story.
