The Minnesota Livestock Producer’s Decision Making Tool to Feedlot Rules does not alter the Rules or change their meaning. If any inconsistencies arise between the Decision Making Tool and the Rules, the Rules will prevail. Check with your local unit of government (County or Township) for any additional rules that may apply to your operation. Please refer to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture web site or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) web site for any updates or corrections, or call the Minnesota Department of Agriculture at 1-800-967-2474.
How do I use the flow charts in the Decision Making Tool?
The purpose of the flow charts is to navigate through a pathway to determine what type of regulations will apply to a specific livestock operation. Below are some things to keep in mind as you work through the Decision Making Tool:
- Start at the top of the flow chart and work down through the decision tree.
- As you go through the Decision Making Tool flow charts, you may click on each individual decision boxes to get more information on that subject.
- The last row of boxes in the Decision Making Tool will indicate if a permit is needed, and if so, what type of permit.
- The last box at the bottom of the Decision Making Tool provides information on regulations that affect all livestock operations, regardless of size of animal type.
