Union County CAFO Regs

The Pal-Item is reporting that the Union County area plan commission will meet on APril 14th to discuss CAFO zoning regulations. The Farm Bureau told the county that they needed to get something in place before "controversy erupts," and the county is shopping around for a template. Some folks are concerned:

The Union County commissioners received a letter Monday from a Union Township resident concerned about the impact of two CAFOs located on either side of her family farm. "Unknown factors such as air quality, water quality and visual environment affect our way of life," resident Juaneta Stout wrote. "Perhaps we should check and see why the hog set-ups moved from North Carolina to Indiana."
