Hi,
	I live on a 80 acre acreage and life is good.  However, recently
	a developer is planning on building a 120,000 chicken raising
	operation right next to me (i.e. less than a km away).

	This operation would have (4) 60" x 400" barns housing 30K chickens
	each.  He plans to dump the manure out on the open field.

	Does anyone have any information on such types of developements and
	the amount of waste produced by them?

	Thanks in advance.
