A four-story animal feeding operation under construction in east-central Iowa prompted concern on Twitter this week that one of the so-called high-rise hog hotels generating buzz in China had made their way to Iowa.
As it turns out, the facility belongs to Fremont Farms of Iowa, an egg company that s building two multi-story buildings for 1.3 million laying hens east of Grinnell. Fremont Farms says national demand for cage-free eggs prompted it to invest $85 million to convert a traditional egg-laying facility into one that gives the hens room to roam.
The company said the project also includes converting an existing affiliated farm into a cage-free facility with 355,000 pullets, or young hens.
