Cassel residents oppose feed mill
Town of Cassel residents mounted a strong opposition at a public meeting against the construction of a new feed mill by Marathon Feed Inc. Owner Dale Heise said the present feed mill located in the village of Marathon was built in the early 1900s and because of village growth, it has made it virtually impossible for Heise to expand or rebuild. The mill is set to be built on a parcel of Lyle Lemmer land along 107 north of CTH N.
