Here in MI, MDARD (Michigan Department of Agriculture/Rural Development) has to do an impact study and open meeting of sort for an area where a new large scale confinement or dairy operation is being planned. Unfortunately, they always side with the farmer in cases where it should have never happened. There is a town north of me, been there for 150 years, so it's not new. A proposed foreign owned mega dairy bought some land half a mile west of town. Obviously, they weren't as huge as they are now, and they keep adding on, but they've always been big. Keep in mind prevailing westerly winds. No one wanted them around, as well stated by every resident in the town it seemed, but they got the go-ahead anyway. On the rare day the wind doesn't blow from the west, it doesn't smell too bad. On the 95% of days it does blow from the west, the whole town from one side to the other smells like shirt. The general practice of the large dairies around here is the more you can make it stink, the sooner you can buy the family homestead land away from the little old lady that's lived there her entire life, after she can't deal with the trucks, cows mooing, smell and wrecked roads that came along in the last 15-20 years from Europe.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
