Editor’s note: Stories of this ilk are included in the blog to inform those in our industry how agriculture is being presented to and perceived by the public.
As a resident of Sandusky County who is facing the threat of factory farm operations, I oppose any effort to exempt or water down health and environmental protections for large livestock operations.
Unfortunately, the amendment that New Mexico’s Sen. Pete Domenici plans to sneak into America’s agriculture appropriations bill does that. Domenici offers proof that factory farms, because of the political influence they wield, open a political Pandora’s box wherever they spring up.
