I would just like to say - Do you have any idea the amount of regulation that is done by the DNR and extension office with large scale dairy operations? The manure management plans that must be filed yearly. If other businesses were required to file the amount of paperwork that most farms are required they would probably quit. People who want to control how someone on an agriculturally zoned area of the county runs their farming operation should look at the amount of polution that GM has dumped on the city of Janesville. Manure at least is put back into the soil and is a natural byproduct. But we want GM to stay and reopen a plant that has contaimented the soil at the plant site so badly that it can not be renewed it must be dug out and replaced. We are an agricultural state. And I would agree that if you don't like the smell go back to the city and stay there. People who move to the country and buy 5 acre lots and try to tell the farmers what to do are amazing you knew it was a farming communtiy but now you complain about the smell. We were there first I don't move into your backyard and tell you how to run your business or your home and if I did you can bet you'd be screaming all the way to the county board.

I usually don't comment on any dairy issues however this is completely out of hand. I have seen how cows are treated on large scale dairy operations and if I were a cow I would much rather be in a free stall barn CLEAN, not out in the mud of the feed lot or in a pasture that by this time of year is eaten to stub and burnt up with no rain. I would much rather a flush system remove the waste in the free stall barn so I wouldn't have to lay it all day in the lot. And for all of you who think that cows are outside are happier maybe in the summer but what about when its 20 below 0 outside? I think that before someone is allowed to open their mouths and spew uninformed quotes about life on a large scale dairy they need to tour one and then tour the "family farm" with the muddy feed lot that most cows are in. The pasture is pretty much nonexistant.

How can this man even have a driver's license? And wouldn't that be driving after revocation on top of the DUI. That is mandatory jail time. And I have to drive on Mt Hope everyday! I can't even imagine driving that road while drunk - if anybody doesn't know its pretty curvy especially at town center.
