RICHFIELD, Wis. (AP) – A milk producer’s plans for a $40 million mega-farm in Adams County have been tied up in the courts for about three years. Now the company, Milk Source Holdings Inc., is making plans to move forward once it gets the final environmental impact statement from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Bill Harke, director of public affairs at Milk Source, tells Daily Tribune Media (http://wrtnews.co/1wlLorG ) the company is hopeful about the future of its proposed animal feeding operation in Richfield. Milk Source plans to stock the facility with 4,300 dairy cows and 250 steers. Two high-capacity wells will put out a maximum pumping rate of 52.5 million gallons each year. The company has been growing crops on the land since it was purchased in 2011. But it’s not sure when construction on the new farm will begin.
