Document Description
Conditional Use Permit CUP21-011 proposes to modify and expand the existing dairy to house a total of 7,300 animals, including 4,000 milk cows, 500 dry cows, and 2,800 support stock, and to officially merge the two existing separate dairy facility permits into a single permit. Considering the existing 2,953 animals at the dairy facility, the proposed expansion would represent an increase of 4,347 animals from existing numbers. The proposed project would include construction of supporting buildings and features at the dairy facility, including five new freestall barns, two loafing barns, commodity barn, milking parlor expansion, a shop, and dry manure storage and calf hutch area. With construction of the proposed facilities, approximately 7 acres of cropped acreage would be converted to active dairy facilities. The remaining acreage would continue to be cultivated with dairy feed crops.
