The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is adamant about regulations

Rosendale Dairy has a
different idea, one the DNR is considering letting it test out. The dairy would
like to test just a handful of fields, and use a mathematical formula to
determine what other fields are wet or dry, based on those sample tests.
