...Phoenix that offered few employment opportunities. You failed to note the additional wealth created by yearly payments to vendors of $10 million, a $1 million payment to Phoenix for development and impact fees and $5 million in construction sales taxes. You repeated the activists' rhetoric of a bad odor and pollution. We realize this makes for good controversy; however, you failed to clarify that human health and the environment were not at risk, and the start-up problems mentioned in your article have been corrected for some time. We are concerned that your reporters did not speak to anyone...

...ever present stench--the overpowering smell from Seaboard's 40,000 hogs closely confined in 44 metal buildings, where exhaust fans continuously pump out tons of pungent ammonia, mixed with tons of grain dust and fecal matter, scented with the noxious odor of hydrogen sulfide (a poisonous gas produced by decaying manure that smells like rotten eggs), all combined with another blend of aromas wafting from five cesspits each 25 ft. deep and the size of a football field. They are, in effect, open-air sewage ponds, and 75 ft. below lies the Ogallala aquifer, which provides drinking and irrigation...
