The new @MnPCA manure management website is a cumbersome, slow, inefficient mess. I’m curious what pollution is being reduced by this new bureaucracy??

Traveled to Kansas City this weekend for my future sister in law’s bachelorette party. I periodically met up with the group to have our baby fed by my wife. The girls had a lot of fun! They looked like this skeleton at the end of the night
