Now, the proposed CAFO has also purchased land with THREE additional high-capacity wells, so even though the application is for 33 wells, Wysocki Family business obviously will be using an increasing number of high-capacity wells by land deals that provide approved well permits that weren't at the time of approval process, known to be linked to the Golden Sands Dairy proposal. This also stinks!

Clean air and water are awesome! Lets keep it that way in Saratoga.

Cows on sand? What's wrong with that picture? Plenty. DO your homework and STOP the CAFO.

Couple of questions: How much will the land be devalued once people start moving elsewhere affecting the tax rate? Since this area provides over 75% of the tax revenue for Adams county. How many local people will this farm employ? Most CAFOs do not employ locals they bring in "outside" workers. This will be more money leaving the county and surrounding area.

Why is this even being considered when this area will bring in more revenue from more business development like the new Rome golf course. Also, there is a record all over the state of Cafo's causing severe water and air pollution, especially in Eastern Wisconsin where Cafo's started with Dutch farmers thrown out of their home land because of pollution. It didn't work there and it shouldn't exist here.

After all this time what more needs to be said? A CAFO is not welcome here! Stop trying to make a buck at the expense of our communities and our environment!

Only so much water in this world. Water wars are underway in other parts of the world and the U.S. Don't need that here.

Find another site for the CAFO! We need our clean water for drinking as well as for water resources that we support in our area.

We need to keep our lakes and community clean - A CAFO should not be placed in an area such as Rome / Saratoga

The water in our area is so valuable for both personal and recreational use that we cannot afford to allow it to be destroy by high cap wells and pollutant run-off.

As a lifelong resident of Wisconsin I support family farming. Massive company owned dairies are not "family farms" and they continue to raise havoc with the environment around them. Please put an end to this now!

Our clean water is important to our health and recreation. I support farming but the concentration of cattle and excess of hi cap wells is not good in sand country. We are currently over supplied with milk products and the government is having to purchase the excess.

The excess of manure spread over fields is contaminating drinking water wells. ENOUGH! The most important thing in the world is CLEAN DRINKING WATER!!!

I'm supportive of responsible farming. The dairy industry is flooded with milk and milk products what ever happen to supply and demand! The world needs food. It also needs clean air and water to survive. This is not an appropriate place for this project..

We live in IL and own recreational property on Lake Camelot. Why would Wisconsin allow anything that would damage the environment and ruin it's lakes? We want to keep our lake healthy, along with the air and soil. Stop the CAFO.
