I helped out with the Mobile Dairy Classroom today at the school where I teach agriscience. We were told that Alabama has 62 dairies in the state. There are none left in my county. The last one closed down 20 years ago. How about your state?

bigbull338":plrd6e6i said:well alice they killed texases #1 an #2 counties with regs an things.eraths died because of wacos lawsuits against all the dairies in the watershed there.making them pay to milk cows.plus do so much to their lagoons.thats when the dairymen started packing up loading up an moving to west tx.leaving alot of fairly new dairies behind.hopkins county died because the processers was moving where the milk was.as well as EPAs regs getting alot of the old dairies out because they didnt want to update to lagoons.because of the amount of land we have.we never had probs with the EPA.
