Urgent: Board to vote on Rob-n-Cin Factory Farm Rezoning-Tell Them No To Rezone!

The Town of Trenton is considering rezoning land from Exclusive Agricultural (EA) to Agricultural Enterprise (AE) to allow Rob-n-Cin Farms to expand as an industrial factory farm (CAFO).

This rezoning would permanently change our community and reduce the Town’s ability to protect residents. Once approved, it cannot be easily reversed.

Important: Rob-n-Cin’s Wisconsin DNR CAFO permit is currently being contested in a legal case by environmental organizations and affected residents.

Why This Matters

The farm would generate 18 million gallons of liquid manure each year, spread on nearby fields.
Most homes in the area rely on private wells, which are vulnerable to contamination from nitrates and bacteria.
Manure spreading and storage threaten Cedar Creek, the Milwaukee River, and the Cedarburg Bog, an internationally recognized wetland.
The DNR permit allows expansion without requiring groundwater monitoring for neighboring wells.
Residents already experience odors, air emissions, and increased truck traffic — further expansion would make these impacts worse.
Rezoning to AE removes meaningful local control and favors industrial agriculture over existing homes and neighborhoods.
Makes it so small farms cannot exist in our community-the CAFO leases all the land in the area for spreading-3000 acres
With the 6 million gallon new manure pit the odor will be smelled for miles
Trucks making our roads dangerous, semi trucks hauling million of gallons of manure, distrupting our quality of life.

Why You Should Attend

The rezoning decision is local. If residents do not speak up, approval could move forward despite unresolved legal challenges and serious risks to water, health, property values, and quality of life.

Take Action

Attend the public hearing and make your voice heard.
