Animal feedlots definition provision
This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 116.06 to define "animal feedlot" for regulatory purposes. It specifies that an animal feedlot includes confined areas where manure accumulates or animal density prevents vegetation growth, but excludes pastures and small poultry operations (12 or fewer chickens). The definition clarifies which agricultural operations fall under existing environmental regulations, directly affecting larger livestock operations in Minnesota.
