A statement from Powell Gardens, in Kingsville, Missouri:

***CAFO UPDATE*** Many of you have been following our opposition to the expansion of the Confined Animal Feeding Operation located three miles west of the Gardens on 50 Highway. We are pleased to announce that the Administrative Hearing Commission has GRANTED our request to stay or suspend the permit until a decision is made regarding the appeal. Based on the evidence presented so far, the Commission agrees that the permit was issued improperly and that irreparable harm to waters of the state will occur if the permit is issued as-is. The Commission has scheduled the final hearing on the permit for August 27, 2018 in Jefferson City…
