WALKER, Minn. -- Crow Wing Power of Brainerd was negligent in its response to a northern Minnesota farm family's concerns about stray voltage on their property, a Cass County jury ruled Friday.

 

The jury awarded Randy and Peggy Norman $4.8 million in economic loss damages and $1.5 million in nuisance damages for a total of $6.3 million, the largest amount ever awarded in a stray voltage case in state history, according to the Normans' attorneys.

 

For nearly 20 years, the Normans claimed to have experienced mysterious health issues with their dairy herd that eventually led them to shutter their rural Pine River business in 2012.
