Sibley, Iowa — We’re going to have to wait a while to find out what happens regarding the smell coming from the Iowa Drying and Processing or IDP plant in Sibley. The matter has been put off in the court system– until July, 2017.
The original suit was The City of Sibley versus Iowa Drying and Processing regarding what should be done about the smells that many find offensive coming from the plant. A counter suit was also filed by Iowa Drying and Processing against the City of Sibley, requesting that the court not allow Sibley to continue to cite IDP for nuisance violations. Court records indicate that the trials in both cases have been scheduled for July 18th, 2017. The available records do not indicate why the trials were postponed for several months.
The City of Sibley has been in an ongoing battle to try to get the odor problem fixed so IDP can continue providing jobs for Sibley residents.
