Move over, Bubba Gump. The first shrimp farm in the state is coming to Hamilton.

A former Army officer who won startup money for his venture in a business contest plans to begin raising shrimp in saltwater-filled tanks as early as this fall.

Shrimp Seen As Big Business

Especially in South Dakota.

I am deeply saddened by your post.

Wasn't this reported about Julio Iglasis (sp). . . .

Ummm . . . . oh . . . never mind. That was something else entirely. (snicker, snicker)

Carry on.

Sorry, but you shouldn't be. The man *used* to be the Senate Majority Leader. Now he's all but forgotten. I think that's hilarious.

"Personally, I think it's going to stink," said Thomas Zaker, whose home on Yardville-Allentown Road is opposite the proposed farm. "I bought this house here because it was out in the country, so I would rather not see anything across the street."

Someone tell this socialist animal to STFU .. you want to restrict the land use ... buy the land then.

In Southeast Asia, shrimp farms and hog farms have about equal desirability as neighbors. Proximity is obvious. On the positive side, they help you in your diet greatly. Drive by one and you will have no desire to eat for at least 12 hours. In short, they make chicken farms seem attractive.

Heck, he could have been going into dairy hogs. Unpasturized pig milk is the latest in the diet-crazed California market.

It seems to me that the approach is fundamentally different to the Asian farm model.

Hopefully but I noticed there was nothing about treating the effluent and they made a point of saying :

The buildings will sit 600 feet back from the road, with an entrance to the farm about 300 feet east of Whippany Road.

That said, I quite like the product of the farms -- when eaten in a restaurant quite som distance from the farm. :>

"I bought this house here because it was out in the country, so I would rather not see anything across the street."

Then you should have bought the land across the street, you jerk.

Funny, I saw an article about how Jersey was down to its last few dairy farms and that development was continuing apace in the western and central parts of the state.

I hope that Southern New Jersey (I'm talking Cumberland and Salem counties) remains largely undeveloped as it produces the best tomatoes and eggplants in the country.

NJ has some pretty good tomatoes in the northern part of the state too.

[Benrand]

That is an OUTRAGEOUS post!

Now where's the butter?

[Tuco Ramirez]

They had an article in the WSJ a few months back, in which they pointed out that although the supply of shrimp was outpacing the demand, restaurants and stores could still charge a pretty penny because Americans view shrimp as something rich people eat.

Pretty sad...

I read once in a cookbook that the NY restaurant, Mama Leone's, looses 2,000 Lbs of shrimp per month due to employee pilfering.

Perhaps a reason they went out of business 11 years ago.

Other than the gardens of elderly Italians in Clifton and Nutley, where can I get good Jersey tomatoes in North Jersey?

Gotta love the fact that there are now Wineries in Sussex and Atlantic (!) Counties now.
