[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 873517, member: 5601"] Goodlife Re: Interesting you use the words “corporate farms”. It almost sounds like you mean something derogatory. Is there something wrong with someone incorporating as required by the Federal and State law to take full advantage of our investment, litigation and tax laws? I see absolutely nothing wrong with being a corporation instead of an individual. Re: It is these environmental wacko’s that have caused these “gathering grounds of manure that spoil the environment while being cruel to the animal”. For over 200 years we have pastured our cattle and brought them in for milking, and it worked just fine. Almost all manure and urine was deposited in the field by the cows as a bio-degradable material. Then came the environmental wacko’s with the EPA as their spokesman. Hello Mr. cattleman, you can’t pasture your cattle any longer, you are polluting our ground water, streams and rivers. Here is a million dollars to build you a milking polar and a feedlot to feed and hold your cows. Farmer: What about all that urine and manure? EPA: OH, here’s another ½ million to put in a concrete floor and a wash down system and a holding lagoon for all that urine and manure. Farmer: What happens when the lagoon is full? EPA: You simply pump it out into your manure spreader and spread it on your field, it‘s bio-degradable ya know. Farmer: But why can’t I just let my cows in the field and make their deposits there, as my grandfather and father and I have always done? EPA: Oh no you cant do that because you MIGHT pollute the ground water and our rivers and streams, and besides, it’s against the law. Now Goodlife, Which would you prefer, cattle depositing their urine and manure in a field, where it is going to end up any how, or cattle standing knee deep in it getting foot rot and dragging their teats in it before milking? Some times the old way, is the right way. SL [/QUOTE]
