So are we OK with rural Iowa being almost uninhabitable so urban areas can have cheaper bacon?

[JRHawk2003]

Don't we want our state to be better than a toilet for the meat industry?

All people should have to grow and care for their own foods so we have no food industry.

Sacrifices must be made in the name of bacon.

 

[hawkeye54545]

Yeah I understand the OP's point but dude, it's bacon. I'd shank one of you for some applewood smoked bacon right about now

 

[Jerome Silberman]

Nope, and apparently our water is too clean as is. Injecting pig sh!t into the ground should help that issue.

 

[Hawkeyenuts66]

Stop standing down wind.

You know you can just buy it right?

 

[Hawkeyenuts66]

Then again I wonder if I could get zoning for a hog confinement in downtown CR, that city smells like shit anyway.

 

[hydro2.0]

Western Iowa = trash.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

"If the operation had 20 more hogs, it would be 2,500-hog confinement and qualify for more oversight."

 

[WhiteSoxClone]

Americans eat way too much meat.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

"Hog excrement is stored in holding tanks, before it is injected into the ground."

Well OK, then. I'm sure that solves all problems.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

"The conflict pits the Grahams, a family of farmers who love the animals in their operation and argue the confinements are safe, against neighbors working with activists who have had crippling experiences with hog confinements 30-minutes away."

Yeah, they love the animals they want to confine and then kill. Sure they do.

Unless I missed it, there were no objections to the new confinement operation based on animal cruelty. I wonder why not?

Fail.

Poweshiek County, the subject of the article, is east of Des Moines.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

my wife's family lives near two big industrial hog farms in Princeton and milan mo. it did not make the towns uninhabitable. by any means. it did however have a certain affect on the small farms much like wal mart could put out a local hardware store.

 

[hawkeye54545]

You know you can just buy it right?

Yes but it's not the same.

 

[JRHawk2003]

I have to go by a few when I drive to CR. They stink something fierce.

 

[Jerome Silberman]

Yes but it's not the same.

I feel ya. I'd break someone's wrist for some really good chili verde right now.

"If the operation had 20 more hogs, it would be 2,500-hog confinement and qualify for more oversight."

Duh, that's why every person who builds a hog barn builds them at 2480-2490, it's a typical practice.

Oh, I'm not at all surprised. Just pointing out how people will behave when profit is the most important thing.

 

[hawkssox1]

They are great until one is built near you.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

I porked OP's mom with my slab of salty applewood.

Speaking as a Floridian, I vote cheaper bacon.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Whats sad is that our Governor and political leadership doesn't care either. They are fine with us being a crappy supply region for cities.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

And I vote faster-rising sea levels.

Did I do that right?

 

[hawkssox1]

And what did Democrats accomplish on this when in office?

What affect specifically?

 

[rocketclone]

You can thank the folks that want organic crops for some of this. They need the manure for fertilizer and this is what you get. Oh, and the carbon footprint that the farmer leaves for organic is huge.

 

[The Tradition]

Hmmm... bacon or uninhabitable rural areas of Iowa?

Sounds like a fair trade off, to me.

 

[JRHawk2003]

And what did Democrats accomplish on this when in office?

Oh I am not letting them off the hook. They just are not the ones in power and have not been in the governors office since 2010.

 

[shank hawk]

Monsanto has made billions poisoning the food and water supply of the entire country yet it’s a poopy pig smell that gets everyone super rustled?

Weird.

 

[goldmom]

This isn't confined to Iowa. North Carolina, for one, has battled this issue for years.

Some of us were already upset. This is just more damning evidence against the agribusiness industry and it's corrupt connection with governments at all levels.

Trick question. Rural Iowa is already uninhabitable.

 

[FranklinHawk]

You shut your dirty whore mouth!

 

[Mattski]

Dont you live in Jersey? Lol

 

[beanerhawk]

A cousin of mines in laws own a hog confinement up by McGregor. They are filthy rich.

bacon, mmmmmmmm

 

[MitchLL]

Duh, that's why every person who builds a hog barn builds them at 2480-2490, it's a typical practice.

And then they cram close to 3,000 head in each unit. Spring is the absolute worst time of the year as they clean pits before planting season. Between turbines and manure odor and casinos... it'll be tough picking Branstad's legacy.

Ever lived in NJ?
