Bennet is a rural community and agriculture has always had a significant impact on the Village. However, today as more of our residents work in Lincoln and come from non-agricultural backgrounds, the potential for conflicts increases. People have general health concerns because of dust and object to strong odors from livestock and noise associated with grain drying. There are also safety concerns because of the anhydrous ammonia stored in the Village at the Farmers Cooperative Elevator. Of course, one man's complaint is another man's source of income. Some middle ground must be found with which both can live and comply. The Village and businesses involved need to be aware of, and comply with, State and Federal regulations relating to these areas.
