Come on Green County conservationist Todd Jenson and the state DNR. How long are you going to let the Todd Tuls tell you how to do your job and do it his way. If a small farmer wants to build anything, he has to follow all state and county requirements. I thought that is why we have the DNR and elected officials; it is set up to go through certain rules and not jump over any on the way. Sounds like very large CAFO operators can do what they want and when they want by the way it looks at the Pinnacle Dairy LLC in Sylvester Township. So now in the Monroe Times Saturday, March 10, 2018, paper. The Tuls want to change the rules again by digging a trench by some of the lagoons. Maybe they can just dig a 120 ft. deep by 100 ft. wide trench all the way around the 127 acres. Then maybe they can get the monitoring wells to pass. Then to have the gall to tell you he is pumping the monitoring wells out of (habit). All the people around there knows this is a (habit) that has been going on since they started this project. Then their attorney tells you that no pumping wasn't in the permit. Just how many more red flags and outright lies do we need from the Tuls before the state and county wake up and see the mockery they are making out of our officials, our township, our county. Once the wells, river, lakes contamination occurs, a lot of people's lives will be changed forever. Tuls can up and leave and move on and doesn't care about us. Never too late to stop it.
