(UNDATED) - Indiana’s Department of Agriculture plans a stepped-up outreach effort to help livestock farms coexist with their communities.

The state plans a pilot program this summer to offer farmers incentives to tighten their environmental performance.

The plan was unveiled in a first-anniversary report on the newly-independent department.
