Al Agnew Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 I signed it. The stupidity of politicians and bureaucrats never ceases to amaze me...or maybe it's all a matter of money and pay-offs, because it takes a complete moron to think that this is a good idea.
Justin Spencer Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Where are they wanting to build the hog farm, are we talking about a whole watershed, or a set distance from the creek or river, I haven't seen exactly what areas the petition covers.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 12, 2013 Root Admin Posted March 12, 2013 They talked about this on KWTO this morning. Good to get the word out. He said that they were already starting to build the farm... ?
Justin Spencer Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Good link griz. I wish there was no such thing as commercial hog farming, chicken farming or feedlots, but that is how our nation operates. In the Ozarks every watershed flows into a beautiful river that is prized for it's recreation. If all environmental laws are being followed this farm should not pose a problem to the buffalo, land applied waste happens in every watershed, there are hundreds of dairy farms in the Ozarks, and guess where human waste from our septic tanks gets applied, you guessed it, some guys field. I understand the concern, and wouldn't want this farm to be my neighbor, but it has to go somewhere, and at least it isn't right on the banks of the main river.

Greasy B Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 He said that they were already starting to build the farm... ? Good grief, if that's true this is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
