I did wonder if that included chi-wawas

Chee hooa hooas aren't racist. They hate everyone.

I’m usually a big advocate for not wrecking our environment, but...

I can see their point as I live in a farm area, and of all the stinking manure, horse, cow, sewage treatment plant sludge, chicken and hog, the worst is hog manure. Second worst is sour chicken manure, but ALL stink.

You can smell someone spreading manure 5 miles upwind here.

But Man, does the crops grow after manure is spread on them! Some of the hog operations have moved to the High Plains where there is more distance between home owners and more room to spread the stink.

***Feed hogs corn on the top floor and the hogs below ate the manure from the top floor. ***

I remember operations like that. they fed corn to cows, then ran hogs behind the cows to eat the undigested corn in the manure, then ran chickens behind the hogs to eat that manure.

Then they mixed the chicken manure with ground corn and fed it to cows.

And? What's the problem?

You dump chemicals on your citizens in the skies non stop daily and that doesn't seem to bother you.

***people of color***

In our area, rest assured the on site owners are probably white or H’Mong, possibly Cherokee. I have not seen any “people of color” working, or living at them.
