The Kansas State House of Representatives voted 84-37 Monday afternoon to pass a bill that would allow companies to build large-volume poultry feeding operations in the state. Senate Bill 405 would be expected to make it easier for companies to build large operations such as the one that Tyson Foods proposed near Tonganoxie last year.That proposal ultimately stirred too much protest among existing Tonganoxie residents, and Tyson instead decided to build in Tennessee. Still, Tyson reportedly is continuing to look for a place to build in Kansas, as well.
