Chicken Farm Being Built Near Cedar Lake

Construction of a 25,000 bird chicken farm is progressing just outside of Carbondale.  While planners and scientists say the facility will not harm the immediate area, some residents are concerned about pollution harming  nearby Cedar Lake, the source of Carbondale's drinking water.  WSIU's Alex Kierstead has the story.
