The Ford County Commission permitted Seaboard Foods to build on two sites in southeast Ford County near Bucklin at the regular meeting on Sept. 18. Both sites will have two buildings housing 2,500 hogs. Each hog will consume approximately five gallons of water daily, but apart from this, the project will funnel the water back into the system and will not be a drain on the water supply. The hogs will be fed by crops purchased from area farmers and the manure used for soil fertilization.
