Are other counties across Indiana enacting CAFO ordinances?

Most Indiana counties have enacted, or are in the process of drafting, CAFO ordinances. These ordinances vary widely from county to county. Some focus on lot sizes and setbacks from nearby residences and towns. Others have made CAFOs a “special use” in agriculturally-zoned areas, requiring a public hearing and vote by local elected officials. Still others have established “CAFO districts” within their agriculturally-zoned areas. And a few have issued moratoriums against new CAFO construction within their county.
