Jury Finds in Favor of Pork Producers
A jury in Illinois has decided against 15 neighbors of Bible Pork, a swine farm located near Louisville, Illinois. The neighbors claimed that the state of the art swine farm was a nuisance under Illinois law due to alleged odor. Phil Borgic, President of the Illinois Pork Producers Association proclaimed, "This ruling is great news for the livestock industry and all of agriculture."The ruling is being called a significant victory for livestock farmers that have operated their farms in good faith under the Illinois Livestock Facilities Management Act. In addition, this ruling also reinforces the clear protections provided under the act for both livestock farmers and their rural neighbors.
