************* The TMO should just buy up the land around the MD and Pundit sites in VC -- land is only about a thousand an acre in Iowa, so it shouldn't cost more than several million -- even if they had to pay a premium to encourage hog lotters to build elsewhere -- to buy a couple miles of buffer around the properties (lots probably stink for what, 5 miles (?), but a couple miles would certainly mitigate a lot of excrement-flavored air), and with all the hotels sold recently by the TMO, the money is available. The hog industry is just too powerful in Iowa, and the only people who really care about the issue are the unfortunate folks who live out in the twigs where the lots are built.
