With the hope to grow animal agriculture in the state, there will be bills to modify North Dakota’s corporate farming law. “It appears that they would be only looking at a poultry, dairy, swine, aquaculture, and hydroponics,” said State Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. “There would be a real strict limitation on the amount of land with just the footprint for the facility itself.” Goehring said a change in the laws governing the business structure of North Dakota farms would also impact grain farmers by expanding markets and increasing the basis.
