Mike Taylor of Taylor Family Farms will be allowed to build two large hog confinements southeast of Creston.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) notified Taylor and Union County officials last week they are granting Taylor’s request for construction permits for two hog confinements in Grant and Highland towships of Union County. The two hog confinements are capable of holding a total of 10,000 hogs.

The two hog confinements have been a hot topic in Union County since Taylor submitted the original permit applications in May.
