Isthmus article on CAFOs
August 14, 2009

Here is another excellent article, this from the Isthmus, a Madison based paper on CAFOs in Wisconsin. Go to the link, plus they offer a way to print it out easily if you prefer. I am very impressed with the variety of viewpoints quoted, the indepth coverage of the issue, and the discussion on methane digesters. Superb article.
The Article

"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.
