Greeley County votes on nonbinding hog operation plan
Greeley County residents will vote Thursday in a nonbinding referendum on Seaboard Corp plans for a large hog production site. The proposal envisions up to 120 barns with 1,000 hogs each, 14 to 18 new jobs, and over 30 million dollars in investment in the county. Balloting runs 9 am to 7 pm in Tribune Courthouse. County officials plan to act on Monday based on results, noting economic conditions differ from 1997 when the idea was rejected.
