GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Residents in Grand Island are raising a stink over a stinking pile of byproduct from a local meatpacking plant.

Hall County Supervisor Steve Schuppan said he’ll talk to the county board about the odor problem at its Tuesday board meeting..

A county board panel issued a special permit earlier this year to allow Chamness Technologies, a waste management service, to spread livestock waste from the JBS meatpacking plant on farm ground.

But Schuppan says Chamness hasn’t spread anything for a long time, allowing the waste to decay. The waste can serve as a fertilizer to cropland, but if it isn’t worked into the ground right away, it ferments.

An email seeking comment was sent Tuesday to Chamness Technology.
