[QUOTE="Goodlife, post: 873521, member: 17226"] You are right and I agree with the poor use of the term "Corporate Farming". I have never liked that term but it is commonly used in the non-farming world to draw the mental picture of the concrete overcrowded manure ridden farm you and I both have a dislike for. The rest is very interesting to me. I was not aware that the EPA was telling ranchers they could not allow manure to stay in the field. I have seen where they fined these large overcrowded collectives for allowing their huge amounts of liquid manure to run off into huge pools that become a caustic sludge then when the barrier breaks it runs off to form a terrible mess. We are both on the same page Sirloin in that we both care for (no, Love) animals and the environment we live in. I agree that when cattle are properly apportioned to the amount of pasture the manure should be allowed to re-fertilize the pasture or be gathered into a pile like Dun brings up to compost. This is in fact environmentally friendly as it is organic fertilizer. When cattle are forced into overcrowded situations it gets bad for everyone, the cattle, the environment, and the consumer who ends up eating less healthy beef. I was also not aware that the government was telling ranchers to stop pasturing their animals and bring them into concrete collectives! That shocks me. Not calling you a liar by any means, just never known anyone this happened to I guess. Have you seen this actually happen? And from what I have seen in your posts, you are an environmentalist Sirloin. If the EPA is doing such crazy things as you suggest here, it seems we are both environmentalists that think the EPA is not protecting the environment or our cattle. [/QUOTE]
