Bike trail will safely bypass Prairie City co-op’s main operationsHeartland Co-op in Prairie City granted an easement to Jasper County for the Red Rock Prairie Trail, whose bike path goes directly through the property and according to the county conservation director Keri Van Zante would be dangerous to ride through on a bicycle during harvest season.
“We have an easement with the co-op to go around the co-op,” Van Zante said during the Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 20. “We would go north of the co-op on the south side of the square and then still cut through co-op property until we get back onto where the trail should be.”
