KSFY News has obtained a statement from a lawyer representing the owner of the proposed hog farm that members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe are protesting near Wagner.  Dave Nadolski, of Lynn, Jackson, Shultz and Lebrun, P.C., represents Longview Farms.  The statement reads:

Protesters have been at the site since yesterday, and more participants continue to arrive.  Tomorrow, a delegation of students from USD plan to protest at the site, and members of the South Dakota Peace and Justice Center are mobilizing as well. 

Meanwhile, South Dakota Attorney General Larry Long says law enforcement's role is simply to keep the peace at the site of a protest against a proposed hog farm west of Wagner.  Long says the dispute at this point is between the hog farm owner and his neighbors, so state government has no legal involvement other than making sure no breaks the law.

KSFY News has a crew at the scene and will continue to monitor the story.
