Folks: See the
article at the link above, a snippet is pasted in below. This facility, if
built, would house 5000 cows in a Michigan watershed already harmed by
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. The owners, the Vreba Hoffs, have
already had multiple violations of Michigan's Clean Water laws, and were
forced by MDEQ to build a manure water press-treatment system. The
Sierra Club documents serious issues with their management practices at least
monthly, and very often weekly and daily - yet they continue to expand and build
and grow. Bigger is not better!
Tonight, an
information meeting is being held by area farmers who want to share the truth
about what to expect if and when such a huge animal factory facility is
built. Click the link below, and attend the meeting if you can. Note
a similar meeting was held by citizens in Gratiot County a few weeks
ago. It was standing room only.
Take note that
Michigan citizens are starting to stand up and cry out, "What can we do to
stop these facilities from hurting our rural community and our way of life, and
our home? What can we DO?"
Are Michigan
lawmakers and decision-makers listening to them? They'd better
start.
