Albert J. Hubenthal operated a 55-acre wormfarming operation in Winona County, Minnesota. Mr. Hubenthal maintained that large amounts of scrap materials, such as tires, wood, metal, leather, and solid waste, were necessary for a successful worm operation. The 55 acres were "messy, smelly, and germy," as described by the neighbors. The county attorney called the farm a nuisance and warned Mr. Hubenthal that he had 30 days to clean up the farm. He refused, and the county removed all materials from the worm farm. Could the county take this action? Was the farm a nuisance? [ Hubenthal v County of Winona, 751 F.2d 243 (8th Cir. 1984)]
