Construction of this proposed railroad and railyard will cause landlocked fields, and divisions of individually owned/farmed parcels. Large fields will be divided into smaller fields, decreasing productivity and efficiency for farmers. Some farm fields may become inaccessable to property owners, and many easements would have to be granted. This railroad project would have a HUGE NEGATIVE IMPACT on agriculture in every nearby county and township. NO to GLB Railroad and NO to eminent domain!!
