| Local governments are increasingly imposing
additional restrictions and fees on livestock operations beyond
what is required in regulations by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources. Two strategies have been used by these local
governments to add additional requirements:
County health ordinances
Zoning ordinances
To see a map of Missouri Counties that have imposed these additional
restrictions, go to: http://agebb.missouri.edu/commag/permit/restrictions.asp
