Please excuse the mass email format... Info about the proposed project: http://www.exploreseiowa.com/-12-16---25-Million-Rail-Facility-Planned-for-Jeff/17981524 The FB event page that alerted me to the issue: https://www.facebook.com/events/266565336854628/?notif_t=plan_user_invited The article about the results of a GMO dust test that so unsettled me: http://farmandranchfreedom.org/gmo-side-effect-dust-study/ Text from the FB event page: "Board of Supervisors meeting. It is critical that we get bodies to this meeting that are in opposition of the Grain Elevator that is going in 1 Mile East of Fairfield, at the intersection of Nutmeg and old Hwy 34. It will adversely effect the quality of life of everyone in Fairfield. The ground up GMO dust will be airborne, not to mention the level of noise created by it and the increased Truck and Train Traffic. It will have a railroad spur and be loading 1000 train cars a week, which would take thousands of semi-tractor trailers of grain into the facility. STOP THIS PROJECT before is it too late. Show your support by being there in person. Meeting starts promptly at 9AM, so let's gather at 8:45 in MASS." >From a comment on the page: "1000 railcars per week out of the proposed >Heartland Coop....each car is filled by 4.5 (average) semi-loads. That's 4500 >trucks in and out of this facility weekly. Rural roads like Salina and >Pleasant Plain and 185th will be jammed with truck traffic."
