The farm's lawyer, Dave Nadolski of Sioux Falls, says the developers will counter by asking a federal judge to rule that the Yankton Sioux Tribe doesn't have jurisdiction over the farm.

Officials say it could house an average of 3,350 sows and produce 70,000 pigs a year.

Yankton Sioux tribal members and others protested near the site last month, saying they fear the operation will smell bad and pollute the air and water.
