Farming finances can be tight, especially when it comes to property acquisition. The Goodhue County Board took action Tuesday that may make it easier for one area family to sell their homestead and hog operation.
Edward and Tammy Fletcher requested a conditional-use permit to allow their existing rural Kenyon feedlot of 450 swine to be split from the farmyard and house, creating a feedlot outside of a farmyard.
The four-member board granted approval, in addition to approving two other feedlot CUP requests.
