As bad as I hate to say this Its about time. I have been by some of these large operations hear in Ohio and it is a shame the way things are done. Back when I had hogs and cows I treated manure like gold to put it back on the farm, It was important part of my fert program and rotation.
My cousin worked at a large hog operation hear in Ohio and took me on a tour of the place. It was impressive till I saw them spreading liquid manure on top of frozen ground in the pouring rain and watching it go into a creek near by. When I ask my cousin why them were doing this he said that the manure has to be spread no matter what and they had bought credits from the government for the waste and they were good to go. I asked him his thoughts on this not the companies ideas he said he did not agree with them, But I need the job and I just work hear. He did quit 2 months later.
A 1000 acre place with 5000 head of hogs on a small area or 5000 cows in the same area is asking for trouble. I do not believe in these mega live stock operations are good for anything but causing problems, Small places spread across the country like it use to be are a better idea and better for the economy. More people doing jobs across the country in production and support of these people and money spread across the country. Now it's the mega operators that employ a few people that control most of the market and the profit and prices and have made the problems we have today.
I know I will be beat up for this but its just my way of thinking. I don't believe in assembly line farming. Bandit

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
