LEWISTON, Minn. – The Daley family is still pursuing its goal of a 6,000-animal unit dairy herd. It was only a tactical issue that prompted the family drop a federal lawsuit, said Daley attorney Matthew Berger. Berger said the Daleys earlier expected the federal and state cases could be coordinated. When the newer federal lawsuit was filed as a civil rights claim, the coordination became impossible, Berger said. In an interview with the Winona Post, Ben Daley said that dropping the federal case should speed up the family’s state lawsuit. About the federal suit, he said:  “It could be something we come back to.”
