The setback video discusses siting of animal feeding operations and setback estimation tools developed in three Midwest states. The tools are the Odor From Feedlot Setback Estimation Tool (OFFSET) developed in Minnesota, Odor Footprint Tool (OFT) developed in Nebraska and Community Assessment Model (CAM) developed in Iowa. The presenters describe the individual tools and how these tools help producers, neighbors and other stakeholders discuss siting and setbacks to deal with odors from animal feeding operations.
