Fixed setback distances for all large animal feeding operations have been tossed in favor of a mathematical formula that would determine distances based on a specific operation.

The decision was part of the Area Plan Commission's last meeting on an ordinance for animal feeding operations Thursday night. The entire ordinance passed 9-3, commission member Dick Treon said, after a nearly four-hour meeting. Now it must be approved individually by town councils and the Grant County commissioners.
