Thanks to all our donors, especially:

HIGHLIGHTS OF LETTER PUBLISHED IN THIS WEEK'S WAUSHARA ARGUS

Dear Mary,

I write to you from Chicago.

The subject of my correspondence to you is the proposed Richfield Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO).

Recently I learned of the proposed Richfield CAFO, just over the County line in Adams County. The potential environmental degradations caused by such a large facility in an area recognized for its environmental significance and sensitivity concern me greatly. The planned water resource impacts alone are staggering and frightening.
