Notes from the CAFO Conference
Madison, WI. - April 5th, 2008

Crawford Stewardship Project Update Letter
November 17, 2007


"While CAFOs clearly are profitable, they are only profitable because so much of the cost and damage is externalized onto the environment, neighbors and wildlife. The monitoring, supervision, clean-up, restitution, fines are not happening, thus the true cost of CAFOs never find the way onto the balance books." Talking point from the CAFO Conference.
