Buchanan County hog operation thwarted by concerns

February 11, 2003 By admin

A Buchanan County family has abandoned its effort to build a controversial two-thousand head hog operation near Independence. James Blin and his son Randy, of Blin Farms Limited Partnership, have dropped plans to develop the farm on an acreage in the middle of their 650-acre farm. Their manure management plan did meet state requirements and it would have been far away enough from neighbors, but the Blins were apparently fed up with the harsh criticism the proposal was drawing from area residents.
