In the 1970's, the city of Philadelphia contracted with the Gratersford State Prison to spread its sludge trucks on the prison farm fields. Every night from around 10PM until around 2AM, the trucks would spray and knife in the sludge.

Four years later, every well, and body of water for 20 miles was heavily contaminated with e-coli, and a whole laundry list of chemicals. Every community had to change to municipal treated water instead of wells.

About ten years ago they permanently closed the prison and sold off the 3,000 acres of land.

The first hybrid "Beefalow" was bred on that farm. The farm inmates were very interesting. We lived on property next to the prison. Every Christmas and 4th of July, my dad would have an event at our home for the farm working inmates. Certainly an interesting experience.

Point being however, history repeats itself. This event is nothing new. The powers in charge never act in anyone's interest but their own.

“The powers in charge never act in anyone’s interest but their own.”
