Touring Fanestil's Meats in Emporia

Statement

This week I also visited Fanestil's Meat in Emporia, where I was given a plant tour by owner Dan Smoots. Fanestil's Meat is in its 68th year of service, providing smokehouse meats to customers across the country. Accompanying us on the tour were Emporia Mayor Kevin Nelson, Kansas State Senator Jeff Longbine, and Lyon County Commissioner Scott Briggs. After touring the facility we headed upstairs for a briefing on flood plain concerns and how the company is working with Lyon County Commissioners, KDEM and FEMA on the possible relocation of Fanestil's out of the flood plain.
