Attorneys in a poultry pollution case filed by a University of Maryland
environmental law clinic, representing plaintiffs suing Hudson Farm and Perdue
Farms Inc., will try to settle the dispute during a conference in U.S.
District Court in Baltimore, according to reports. The lawsuit claims that Hudson and Perdue are polluting a
tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.
Farm groups and the governor of Maryland have criticized the lawsuit, saying that the suit could bankrupt Hudson Farm and set a harmful precedent for other family farms. The settlement conference is closed to the public.
