    Neighbors worried about cattle feeding operation planned near Riley

    By Megan Moser on August 12, 2025 Local News, Riley County

    Neighbors say they are not happy about a proposed cattle feeding operation near the town of Riley.

    The Kansas Department of Health and Environment last week issued public notice that Falcon Land LLC has filed for a federal water pollution control permit to start a “confined animal feeding operation” (CAFO) on its property at the southeast intersection of 8400 Road and Union Road. The proposal is for a facility with up to 999 head of cattle.

    By state law, it’s not a feedlot if it’s below 1,000 animals. Operations with more than 1,000 animals at one time require additional measures and approval from the Environmental Protection Agency.
