Wis. town barred from beefing up farm water rules
MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Supreme Court says a rural town does not have the authority to impose tougher water quality standards on a livestock farm than the state requires.
Wednesday's decision means Magnolia, about 30 miles south of Madison, can't demand that a 2,900-cow farm take extra steps to control pollution.
At issue was a state law designed to make farm regulations consistent across Wisconsin.
