Kewaunee County farm fined $225,000 for manure spills

A farm south of the Kewaunee city limits will pay a stiff fine for its repeated violations related to its manure handling. Wakker Farm was fined $225,000 earlier this week as a part of over 20 different incidences when manure ran off into area waterways dating back to 2017, including one approximately two years ago. Attorney General Josh Kaul also cited that the farm did not take the necessary steps to prevent future incidences and that its nutrient management plan did not include sensitive areas that were susceptible to issues. As of 2017, Wakker Dairy had 2,200 cows and farmed 3,300 acres.
