At their upcoming Tuesday meeting, the Webster County Board of Supervisors will consider a building permit application from Summit Farms Pork LCC for a proposed hog confinement in Jackson Township.

According to the board’s agenda for Tuesday, the bBoard is being asked to sign a recommendation letter for Summit Farms Pork LLC, of Alden, to place a confinement feeding operation in section two of Jackson Township, on Fairbanks Avenue between 100th Street and 110th Street.
