Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Suspends the construction of industrial dairy farms (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) of more than 2, 500 cows.
Weaknesses
- The moratorium only applies to very large dairy industrial farms. Large industrial farms of less than 2,500 cows and non-dairy industrial farms of all sizes would still be allowed to be built.
- Being a moratorium on the construction of industrial dairy farms, already existing farms are still allowed to operate.
