I live next door. I regret not protesting when the agricultural facility moved next door. I thought I would be a good neighbor and let the economy develop. Now I know that was a poor decision. The livestock confinement operation had ruined our quality of life at the present level. I can not imagine allowing the operation to expand from 2000 cattle to 11,000 cattle. Can you imagine living next to this? When I moved to this location it was beautiful countryside. Currently one can not stand to be outside because of the animal stench in the evening particularly. Our ponds have dried up, perhaps because of drought, but also because of lowered water tables. There are holding ponds at the facility that must be a health hazard. I ask you to visit the facility to see if you think you would like to live next door. It is a blight on the land, visually, and air quality-wise. I had hopes of developing our land. That will never happen now. This facility has destroyed any possibility of development; therefore, our property value is diminished as well. This is irrigated farm land. Why allow it to be wasted with a cattle feedlot/dairy? This area is also highly populated with residences. A huge cattle operation should be further east away from housing. It has been a pleasure not to have the smell jokes about Greeley anymore. Let's not make Eaton the next joke. If you lived next to this, what would you do? Sincerely, Colette B.
