Kern County to Consider a Ban on New Dairies
From Times Wire Reports
Kern County officials are considering a freeze on new dairies after receiving proposals that would bring 20 dairies and a calf feedlot to the county -- a total of about 150,000 cows.
County supervisors will meet Tuesday to discuss the ban on new projects. Even if no new dairies are allowed beyond those already proposed, the county’s herd is expected to more than double, officials said.
