Swine producers in both Canada and the United States have learned to appreciate the impact of environmental regulations.

Any producer planning to construct a new facility or make major renovations to existing CAFOs should carefully review all existing and anticipated regulations sufficiently in advance of construction so that full compliance can be achieved.
