Dear JFAN Supporters:
There will be a Public Hearing on a proposed 4,800 head hog confinement at 5 PM this Thursday, August 9th at the Jefferson County Courthouse courtroom. Ed Elmore and Josh Hellweg have submitted an application to expand their operation to a 4,800 head hog confinement at 1326 Peach Ave., 7 miles northeast of Fairfield. This expansion will make this confinement among the largest in the county. At the hearing, the Jefferson County supervisors will make a presentation on how the state’s matrix system works in regards to animal confinements. Also during the hearing, the applicants will give a presentation on their plans. The public will be allowed to comment on the proposed facility. The supervisors are asking those in attendance to bring along a copy of their comments so that they may be sent to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources as part of the application procedure. We encourage you all to attend this informational meeting and make any comment you consider appropriate. We hope that all will be cordial in any discussions that occur. Please forward this e-mail to your friends. Thanks for caring. JFAN Board of Directors P.O.
