Residents voiced strong opposition to the proposed wind turbine project during a recent government meeting, citing concerns over noise, environmental impact, and the potential harm to local agriculture. One resident shared a personal account of the challenges faced by her family, including the recent loss of her husband and the distress caused by wind turbines in nearby Missouri, where they have reportedly led to livestock deaths.

The testimony highlighted the perceived lack of awareness among project planners regarding the proximity of residential homes to the proposed turbine sites. Concerns were raised about the impact on ranching operations, with one speaker emphasizing that the land was primarily agricultural and should remain so.

Additionally, questions were posed regarding the implications of a new transmission line associated with the project, with residents seeking clarity on how it would affect their properties and livelihoods. The meeting underscored a growing tension between renewable energy initiatives and local community interests, as residents called for more transparency and consideration of their concerns.
