We have thought about the vacant land around our place that people lease to pasture their cattle. We worry about that so much. Enough that we planned with our neighbors that if anyone wanted to buy that land and build a housing area we were going to put up a great big sign on our place that said "FUTURE HOME OF **** HOG FARM". THAT is how bad this could be, it would be enough to stop anyone from building homes.

Her realtor is correct. It may be too late. They do not care what they do to anyone living around them. We got a lovely Frito Lay plant with open vats that smell like horrible diarrhea mixed with the lovely smells (not at the level and length of time we are stuck with the smells) of our new Mars plant. It is insufferable outside some days. Not fun to have to work in them, I often have to wear a mask just so it does not make me sick.

Ya move to the farm expecting quiet and fresh air. HA!

Every resource I was given and my neighbors were given to fight it off were of no use to us. I do know a community here in Kansas just fought off a Tyson plant. If I can find something I will post it here. It was a mighty fight from a small group of people.
