Resources to deal with hog confinement building coming in next door? [View all]

Just talked to a friend of mine in the Dakotas -- elderly woman with several medical issues -- and she told me a huge hog confinement "farm" is going in very near her house. She's been to meetings, etc., but it sounds like a done deal with probably a few shenanigans going on (since it was presented to her and her neighbors as a "done deal&quot . She said it was "kinda like the pipeline."

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any resources that might be able to fight this. Because of her health (the pig odors literally can make her pass out), she will have to move and possibly quit her job. And a Realtor has already told her she's not going to get a decent price for her house, because who really wants to move in next to a hog farm??

Thanks for any help!
