Factory Farm& Data Center Threats
Bi-partisan support for factory farms and data centers is driving significant new expansions in rural Wisconsin. Global investors are keen to make big returns on industrial development. Local communities have almost no input as these huge developments get billions on tax exemptions and public financing.
Our communities face ¼-mile long barns generating millions of gallons of liquid waste and toxic air pollution. Prime farmland is bull dozed for warehouses filled with electricity guzzling computers that never stop making noise.
SRWN connects communities in rural Wisconsin resisting both of these largely unregulated industrial juggernauts.
