Crying Foul Over A Chicken Farm

A plan to build a chicken farm in southern Barry County is moving forward despite concerns from neighbors.

Watch my KY3 News @ 10 report HERE.

The state has issued a permit to a couple who live near Eagle Rock to build the operation. Opponents are still looking for ways to stop it. But lawmakers say passage of state legislation is unlikely.

This is a classic gripe over land rights. The couple building the chicken farm says the operation will help keep their 100-year-old family farm afloat. Opponents say it's too close to an Ozarks treasure - Roaring River and the Roaring River State Park.

For information on the permit from the Department of Natural Resources, click HERE.
