A family in central Minnesota has been awarded a significant sum in connection with stray voltage that has affected their dairy operation for more than 20 years. Stray voltage has been a documented problem for many years, especially regarding dairy farms, whose livestock can be especially sensitive to these types of problems. Stray voltage affects an animals’ water and food intake, and can produce a stress hormone that causes them to produce less milk.
