John By Keith Roulston Citizen publisher Expanding livestock operations of 150 animal units or more will need nutrient management plans if local municipalities adopt a model bylaw passed by Huron County council, Feb. 5. The revised bylaw was proposed to cover a gap caused by the province's Nutrient Management Act which overrules local bylaws. The provincial legislation currently affects only new and expanding live- stock operations over 300 animal units (about the equivalent of manure created by one cow). The earlier county model bylaw, one of the first in the province, included all operations over 150 units. The revisions also change provi- sions that were in conflict with the provincial legislation. It's up to each municipality to decide if it will implement the proposal since only lower-tier municipalities have the jurisdiction over building permits for expanding operations. A local advisory committee has also been set 'up to mediate com- plaints about nutrient management and offer advice. The committee will include 12-14 Glousher, Wingham, consigned ten steers averaging 1,427 lbs. which sold for an average price of $83.61 with his top black steer weighing 1,390 lbs. which sold for $92.75.
