Hey, we live in a farming state. If you do not like it, move to New Delhi and enjoy the odiferous contents of that or many other urban areas. I grew up around farms for most of my life, and lived in Sioux City, where trust me John Morrell smelled far worse than any confinement you can take me to in the summer, but it is what it is.
That's crap (and yes, pun intended). Just because we have historically been a farming state doesn't mean we need to support huge confinements which are cruel to animals and potentially hazardous to our health.

It would be different if it were South Dakota farmers trying to expand their operation, but it's stinkin Iowa corporate investors who are coming here because our laws aren't as strict as Iowa's. And what does that tell us? Iowa used to be lax until they learned their lesson.
My biggest issue is with not consulting the tribal leaders before they got approval, I'm sure they could have worked out some sort of arrangement ahead of time.
Im not entirely sure they realized that it was tribal land next to theirs....Im from that area originally and no one can ever agree what is tribal and what is not its very difficult to get anything done with the land in that area
The hog confinement in question cannot be cruel to animals when not yet constructed. You cannot generalize that all confinements are bad and I acknowledge some certainly are, just like large chicken farms in NE and some cattle lots in the region. But, big is not per se bad. Give this unit a chance to show whether or not they are worthy of permitting. I bet that is what the court will hold.
Looks like this is the top story for the month at SD123.
The south winds have been bringing us the "smell of money" in Yankton lately. "Smell of money" is also known as the hog farm just on the other side of the river.
