CAFO Farm and impact on lakes in Marquette County
The Richfield farm is proposing to build a dairy that will be milking about 4300 cows, and have 5000 animal units on the farm. On July 18th a hearing will be held at the Adams Community Center at 1:00 p.m. Ron Sabel and Al Rosenthal will attend to gather information.

AIS Signs
Pat gave a list of the lakes that presently have AIS signs. The old signs need to be taken down, and a new sign from DNR needs to be put up by August 1st. For each new sign put up a survey needs to be completed. If we are aware of private property owners that use their lake property as a boat landing, signs can be given to them to be put up on their property.

Next Meeting
Ron will poll Board members for a good date for the August meeting. Hopefully the Sheriff will be able to attend.
The Fall Meeting and Annual Meeting will be held on September 29th at 6:00 p.m. in Montello
