One farm I know of for sure in our area has a permit for an open earth pit. It used to be all concrete, but then the walls collapsed. They had a company come in a fish the large chunks out with a crane, and then at the same time they dug it out bigger on 2 sides with a permit from the DNR. Apparantly they're also a part of a study, or were at one time, on how well our red clay holds such waste.
Keep in mind that the pit, where it was dug out, is just stictly excavation. No barriers or any prep work was done to prevent seepage. Our clay here is pretty good at holding it's siht together apparantly. There are a good number of larger farmers who inject it right away, and in all reality it does make sense in some aplications.

1: Install a holding tank and have it pumped all the time.
2: Install a mound system.
I'm sure there are more places like this, as it's just a sign of the times.

As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
