Yeah Dave, it might be the smell of money but will the money from a 2500 sow farrowing operation be spent in the local area? I doubt it. The low wage employees who will be working there will actually cost the community more in the long run. Just ask anyone from an area where there are large packing houses and immigrant labors.
You mentioned the farmer might be looking for a way to dispose of his manure.. Well, in the first place,, the operator of this huge operation isn't really a farmer. We're talking about agra-business, and to call them a farmer is incorrect. Can you imagine how much manure will be generated by 2500 sows? If an operation of this size is going to be built, I'm sure they'll have to have a better plan than spreading manure on neighbors fields..
