Say NO to factory cow farm at the edge of town of Vermont

The proposed project is the construction of a 960 head (960 animal unit) beef cattle backgrounding facility. It will consist of one beef cattle confinement building measuring 100' by 544' utilizing a 84' by 160' by 12' deep in ground concrete manure storage structure in combination with a dry manure bed-pack manure storage system. The project is proposed by Mr. Barry Bradshaw of 145 Knox Road 200 North, St. Augustine, IL 61474 ( 309-337-6625 ) and is known as Four Aces, LLC. The proposed facility is to be located 3,900' west of Vermont, IL .
This factory farm will pollute our drinking water since water table is high in this area. The heavy smell will make the town undesirable and the value of our houses will decline substantially. The air will be heavily polluted with methane and our health will suffer. The residents of Vermont were not asked to participate in the decision of location of this factory farm.
