dzc3: It sounds like you have already judged our operation and YOU do not have DARN thing to do with it!!!!!!! Read my original post. This has been in the planning for FIVE years. A large part of this is getting through all the red tape on the site approval. One of the Guide lines that is that there can not be a dwelling within 2375 feet. There is not dwelling within 3500 feet of these locations. Those are both to the west of the buildings. To the south east which is the direction the primary winds blow it is over 6500 feet to the nearest dwelling. I do not think that fellow will complain too much as he two 2500 pig barns of his own within 1500 feet of his house. So who's manure will he smell first??

Also you making some wild guess on how "good" a neighbor I will be. I guess we will not be up to "YOUR" standards with modern barns with the manure 100% contained under them, with controlled ventilation and run off never an issue. I bet you would love the guy just to the north of my home farm. He is all organic and only has 30 sows an he fattens up just his own pigs in an open pasture. Well guess what??? He puts more manure into the river than we would ever do. Every single time we get big summer rains his "pasture" gets flushed/washed clean of the manure there. Since he never has more than 250-300 hogs he does not have to comply with any of the set back rules or manure management rules we have to. I would like you to drive by his lots in the middle of July on a nice hot humid day. It stinks to high heaven there.

Well here is my thought to YOU!!! There have always been a lot of hogs grown around Cascade Iowa. They used to be ALL out on grass pastures. Farrowed outside year round. This was the normal way until about 15 years ago and the confinement buildings started show up around here. In the 1970s and 1980s you could smell hogs in town 365 day a year. Now you almost never do. In a two mile circle around town there are more hogs there now than there ever where before.

Thanks to people like your self, that prejudge the operation without a SINGLE FACT, it has taken five years and close to $25K to get this through all the hurtles. Now I want every single home owner to go through this to get permission to build anywhere in the country???? Think it will happen???

Here is another thing that really POs me. None of our homes have or need a security system. Both of these barns will have coded entry locks and a full 24/7 security system. It is required by any of the contracts we looked at. The hog finishing business is a target for too many eco vandals.
