Judge: Ag Department ignored poultry farm impacts

Body

Tulsa-based Indian Environmental Law Group representing Spring Creek Coalition, a group of landowners along one of the state’s last “pristine” category Ozark streams, sued the agency over those very points after it allowed several “megafarms” to be built within the watershed starting in 2018.
