The applicant applied to the Farm Practices Protection Board regarding the respondents' manure storage, removal, and ventilation practices at their poultry farm.
The parties acknowledged that the current practice of removing manure and dead birds was not a normal farm practice and agreed to a consent order.
The Board ordered the respondents to adhere to a strict schedule for cleaning the barn and removing dead stock, to provide a schedule of crop-in dates, to construct a fence/barrier on the mutual property line, and to install hoods over exhaust fans.
The order was temporary, with the option to make it permanent or vary it by a specified date.
