Two Hog Farms Approved In Cass County

Despite the objections of local residents, the Cass County Board of Zoning Appeals has unanimously approved two new hog farm operations. The first being near Burnettsville, while the second one will be northwest of Lincoln. Current plans call for around 8,000 hogs to be housed at each facility. Nearby neighbors complained that the smell that the operations would bring would drive down their property values.
