Blackford Co. & AG Director Make Up
Andrew Miller, the director of Indiana State Department of Agriculture, showed up in Blackford County at a county commissioners meeting in an attempt to “mend fences” (read: repair publicity gaff). Remember that Mr. Miller released a nasty note after Blackford rejected a CAFO special use permit, implying that the county was anti-agriculture. See: kemplog: Pressure.
After the meeting, [county commissioner] Walker said he hoped that Miller “understands where we’re coming from, that he knows we are not opposed to CAFOs in this county. But we have issues on locations of those CAFOs.
“The commissioners have been very supportive of agriculture in the past and will continue to be in the future. But we realize that issues will come up in the future that have to be addressed with discussion from both sides.”
