Over the last six months there has been enormous opposition locally over the construction of a corporate dairy farm that is to be constructed near Warren, IL. The negative effects that this CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) would bring to the environment in this county is staggering as is the lowered quality of life to it’s neighbors and the loss of a picturesque landscape that the area is known for.
This past winter a local group opposing this CAFO was formed and they need support quickly. H.O.M.E.S, Helping Others Maintain Environmental Standards, is accepting donations to pay for legal fees to fight this issue. In this David vs Goliath battle any funds will be beneficial. Thank you.
