Chicken seller Jim Perdue and the Pa. DEP man in the moon: By Ray Wallaced

At Tuesday’s Pa. DEP hearing, Jim Perdue’s lackeys openly displayed they care more about making profit than making Pennsylvanians sick from hexane air pollution.

To quickly confirm that Jim now hopes you overlook the public hearing's winning testimony from honest, local, air-breathing citizens, just scroll down to "THE LATEST NEWS" on his website:

http://www.perdueagribusinesspa.com/#!news/cfnd

...where you may see for yourself that:

1. Jim continues to ignore ALL the latest news that documents what in fact happened at the DEP hearing.

2. When, on Jim's above website, you click on "Read More" at the most recent Feed & Grain News item listed (it's dated March 2, 2015), notice that Jim doesn't let you access news he claims is titled:

Perdue Receives Approval for Grain Elevator and Soybean Crushing Facility

Has any such "news" been completely removed from the Internet because it's so obviously untrue?
Is Jim Perdue so desperate and out of touch that he thinks he can get away with advertising that his polluting factory somehow got approved 29 days before the March 31, 2015 hearing?

Approved by whom? The Pa. DEP man in the moon?

Sorry, Jim. If you can't handle your proposed Pa. factory waste any better than you handle your own chicken waste, your own website, and the Pa. DEP, who will OK your application to forever yearly dump hundreds of tons of toxic hexane gas into already polluted Susquehanna Valley air?

11:10 AM I am very confused myself? Why are you posting this Joe? Not sure what you are thinking?

11:56, Each and every one of you have the right to your opinion.

Ray Wallace has taken the time to do a lot of investigating on matter YOU are not willing to do.

Therefore I am giving him every opportunity to share what he has learned.

The Perdue Corporation has EVERY right to respond either through sending me their findings and or through comments.

We did the very same thing with the wind farms in Somerset County. Why didn't you challenge me then when we have THOUSANDS of comments on that topic.

It would seem Mr. Wallace has become extremely successful by pulling together not only attention but a lot of concerned citizens to attend local meetings.

You have to wonder what would be found here on the Eastern Shore!

You mean like him claiming when you click on that link it goes to a blank page, so therefore must automatically mean Jim is hiding info, even though that link has nothing to do with Perdue but is a separate entity altogether?

Is that what you are referring to as "investigating"?

Is Ray Wallace an expert on Milling and Extraction?

Or just some guy who hears the word Hexane and thinks it must be bad because it smells like airplane glue?

That's what I was asking for Joe. That was the question. Thank you for your response.

I can tell you why I dislike Perdue and Jim Perdue especially. Jim Perdue made Jake Day's father, Randy Day the president of Perdue Foods. Then the Sime Bag Jim Perdue invented a job for the unemployed Salisbury City Council wannabe Jake Day.

All Dirt Bags of Perdue Farms. Go get em!!

Jim Perdue gave big bucks to Anthony Brown's campaign for governor. Apparently he loves liberals who are beholden to him.

Guess he will be backing Fake Day for mayor of da Bury.

I dare anyone to try to travel past Perdue's Zion Church Road hexane using soybean oil extraction facility and be held up by 130,000 tractor trailers flooding the roads to get there, or even smell anything in the air at all that is anything stronger than any farming operation going on, or, for that matter, anyone's septic tank in the area.

Ray Wallace's research has gone well beyond research, and has morphed into just plain "PerdueHate". It's become an insanity for him, and he really needs to take a reality check.

Yes, Hexane, as a singular chemical, is highly hazardous when handled improperly or accidentally released, which almost never happens due to strict safety regulations enforced upon those who handle the product.

But, according to Wikipedia and other sources, Hexane is only used in closed system much like an air conditioning system, with miniscule evaporation per batch.

Funny how Ray states that 208 whatever amounts will be released into the atmosphere, but fails to back up this claim as to what damage it would ever do, if any, and whether or not it is within EPA regulations.

My guess? It's probably within spec's, and he's blowing on my big Pen s.

We have had a soybean plant on Zion Church Rd for about 50 years. Yes it has a little oder , which you can rarely smell on our property next door. I am not aware of any unusual diseases in the neighborhood. I am no fan of Jim Perdue, he lacks character, does not know how to be a friend, but he is not a liberal.
How good a neighbor to this area is Perdue? Well, let's ask the hundreds of people that served the company since their first job out of High School and were replaced, just before retirment age. JIM PERDUE ALWAYS HAS THE SAME ANSWERS. "I DIDN'T KNOW ANYHING ABOUT THAT."

I don't know about this, too confusing. What I do know is that any area that has a slaughter house as their main employer had turned into a slum. At one time these jobs used to be decent paying but now slaughter houses take quite the advantage of the US Visa program which allows them to import a lot of foreign workers, which in turn guarantees them a steady stream of employees ready, willing and able to work at the low wages they pay. It also guarantees the US citizen workers will never make above a poverty level wage.
This effects the whole surrounding area in negative ways. The US citizen workers will never afford to buy homes causing home prices to fall across the board and almost all of them are being supplemented by the tax payers in some form or another of welfare benefit. They pay very little in taxes so the governments have to come up with crazy ways to create revenue like the rain tax.
