The county feedlot program is a cooperative
arrangement between the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and county government
to administer Minnesota's feedlot rule. This cooperative program is known
as "county delegation" or the "county

implementation of feedlot rules and regulations in 54 Minnesota counties. These responsibilities
include:
- registration
- permitting
- inspections
- education and assistance
- complaint follow-up
Wadena County has 190 registered feedlots as of October 2005.
