International commission to review North Dakota dairy projects 

Two massive dairy projects planned near the Red River are drawing international scrutiny. Manitoba asked the International Joint Commission to review North Dakota permits for Riverview LLP’s 25,000-cow and 12,500-cow operations, citing Lake Winnipeg’s worsening algae blooms and nutrient overloads. North Dakota regulators say standards are strict; Riverview says discharges are prohibited and manure will be managed on fields. With 37,500 cows proposed along a cross-border river, the review tests how two countries balance agricultural growth with shared water quality. Jeff Beach with North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
