A massive hog farm in Burnett County, Wisconsin continues to push forward. Cumberland, LLC, has submitted paperwork to turn 277,000 square feet of farmland into a 26,000-head hog operation.
"There's a lot more to this than what is in front of you, so I think we need to slow way down," one resident said Tuesday morning in Siren.
It was a packed room, with residents of Burnett County and neighboring counties showing up with signs in hand to share their concerns about a massive hog operation that wants to open in Trade Lake, just southwest of Siren.
"They are a for-profit company, they're based in China and they really don't care about the environment here," another resident said.
