N.D. (AP) – Plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking to abolish North Dakota’s anti-corporate farming law are asking a judge to reject the state’s request for a more detailed complaint.
The North Dakota Farm Bureau, a Wisconsin dairy farmer and a dairy company in that state that seeks to expand into North Dakota sued in federal court in June. They want a federal judge to declare the law unconstitutional.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem late last month asked the judge to order the plaintiffs to amend their complaint, saying it was so vague that his office couldn’t even respond to it.
Plaintiff’s attorney Sarah Andrews Herman disputes that assertion. She says the complaint is detailed and that arguments Stenehjem makes in his request show that he has enough information to file a response.
