Take Action to Stop Cumberland LLC

Here’s a list of actions you can take to protect our water & air quality, health, and property values from the Cumberland LLC:

  1. Email DNR & Government Officials – let your local government know about your concerns with allowing a large pig factory and future industry of factories to move into our area.
  2. Donate to the Cause – we raise funds for getting the word out through print, signs, billboards, public meetings, lunch and learns, maintaining our website and communication with our followers.
  3. Volunteer – if the Cumberland LLC application is approved by the DNR there will be public hearings and volunteers will be needed as organizers and speakers and will be greatly appreciated.
  4. Spread the Word – get out and talk with your neighbors (manure spreading inaccuracies)
  5. Attend Hearings – for more information on what’s coming visit our What’s New page
