[AT] OT Land prices was RE: B Allis

[Ronald L. Cook]

They do seem to have a lot of money.  This Blue Bunny/Mouw stinking dairy 
they built a couple miles from my home is a very big mistake that was made 
by someone.  More likely someone was paid off.  The DNR certainly had their 
head up where they can't see.  Surrounded by land that has been turned back 
into wetlands the last few years.  Manure lagoons in wetlands???  Not only 
hard to believe, but downright stupid.  Just wait for a wet year.  It is 
brand new and already stinks so bad you can't stand being downwind.  Of 
course I think all corners are being cut and nothing will change until 
issues are forced.

By the way, Dallas, I sold my B Allis with an excellent L306 Woods deck for 
$1500.  I only lost about a grand on that little deal.
