Seriously, the points against it are (1) It's ridiculous; (2) A huge number of land plots have to be condemned and the process has just begun; (3) The 2008 bond issue said (Didn't it?) that the project could not be begun until all money had been committed; (4) Washington has zipped up its wallet, and this is not just the Tea Party speaking, so if the thing goes over budget (Oh, nooo, that won't happen)the whole project might stop.

I would say that (1) is hopeless, because no one is listening; (2) might have some force, particularly if the farmers get feisty; (3) might also profit from feisty farmers filing suit to stop it; and (4) is mostly a matter of just waiting with bated breath to see what Washington wants to do.
