KDHE rejects proposal for Coen dairy near Ottawa
KDHE rejected the 21st Century Cooperative Tally Creek Dairy project 10 miles northeast of Ottawa in Franklin County. John Coen and area farmers had acquired 107 acres to build the cooperative dairy expanding Coen’s existing operation. State officials said the project is a new facility not an expansion and would violate separation-distance rules for dairies built after 1994 with more than 1,999 animal units, sending the plan to DAIRY page 3.
