Not that I condone what was done, I must say I'm on the side of the other folks in the area. I certainly wouldn't want a dairy farm up stream from my water well.

Dumping manure down the well seems rather self defeating doesn't it?

You know they never were a problem at all until the factory farm model went into use. Designed by Cornell University in conjunction with the AG department of the federal government...the factory farm model is a disaster. At least it is in certain parts of the country where the soil contains a lot of gravel. In that kind of soil the liquid manure that gets poured out in the fields in huge quantities goes right into the aquifers and the drinking water. And this contamination will last for many years even if they stop dumping.

The only difference between the crime committed to this farm and the farm itself is that the farm will be committing a legalized version of the exact same crime.

They also store all of this liquid crap in above ground pits with makeshift walls. When these rupture as they did in northern NY recently then the result is a disaster. In NY the Black River was decimated.

Thanks for your concern.
