Farmers keeping roosters can get advice on proper housing and insulation from <br />the state Ag Cooperative Extension service also. <br /> <br /> <br />6. Nuisance Animal Noise Going Forward: <br />APB will look into including information on the county website related to <br />farm/residential zoning so that potential buyers of county residences can be <br />informed about potential for noise, odor, clear-cutting, etc. (Dave and/or Bob <br />to contact Carla Banks about putting information on website). The ASAB will <br />continue be available for public input on animal noise issues. <br /> <br /> <br />7. Continuing ASAB and APD Collaboration: <br />Both groups want to coordinate rapid response to emergencies involving farm <br />animals/large animals. Examples given were transport truck accident, <br />especially on major highway and livestock loose on roads due to fence <br />breakdown and/or sever weather. A truck accident on I-40 would have 911 first <br />responders present, and many of those folks have connections to local farmers. <br />APB is familiar with most areas in the county and contacts neighboring farmers <br />in emergencies it assist with managing loose livestock. They will plan to <br />update contact information. <br /> <br /> <br />
