this article from a Rockford, IL publication is riveting and on target. 'Farmland is not wasted potential waiting to be turned into something of value. Farmland is already highly valuable and productive.' We haven't had a good night's sleep since this project was brought to light. It is beyond unethical that eminent domain could be used to force existing, productive business out. http://www.rrstar.com/article/20160528/OPINION/160529438/?Start=1
