Plenty of state agencies are working to prevent damage from the floods in the Red River Valley. The MPCA, I'm told, is assisting as well--but won't come to the fore until floodwaters recede.
The MPCA is urging farmers to get rid of manure stockpiles and to divert water from manure storage locations. Tanks, underground and above-ground, are also a pollution concern. Beside anchoring tanks, the MPCA recommends filling farm tanks with "product" to keep them from floating and to shut all emergency valve in case tanks are bumped or moved.
I'll try to get in touch with our feedlot communication person to find out what's being done on the ground in flooded areas ... Check out the MPCA's feedlot information. Photo © MPCA
