Charles, I did email Geri, George,Mike May, and David Johnson. Dickinson County is having a crisis. Would Sierra Club be able to help? Donna Buell is starting the Prairie Lakes Sierra Club for our 7 counties, but we need help quickly. New Fashion Farms from MN plans to establish 15 confinement operations in Dickinson County as soon as possible. One is being planned just 1440 feet from the Little Sioux River. Phone me at 712 332-2304 or email some suggestions. Thanks.
