Environment - "CAFOs rule Randolph commissioner race"
Randolph County has been the site of many CAFO battles, including an "intensive agricultural district " for Randolph County that would occupy 75.88 % of the county, and a moratorium on CAFOs. See ILB entries from Jan. 8th and Feb. 9th. Today Joy Leiker of the Muncie Star-Press, in writing about the upcoming contests for county council and board of commissioners, reports that:
The regulation of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) in Randolph County remains the biggest and most emotional issue in the county. After five years of study and discussion by the planning commission and a number of spin-off committees, county commissioners in January rejected an ordinance that would have created two agricultural districts in the county and limited CAFOs to an intensive district.
