We have got to start holding people in positions of power accountable for their stupid ideas!

So the bureaucrats want us to starve? How is this different from the Soviet Union under Lenin or Stalin?

Really...just how are you going to do that? Since when have politicians on either side listened to us?

If you eat, you will be held to account.

Folks, it’s getting ugly.

We are too far removed from reality in our urbanized, sanitized society. Well, Jessica Culpepper we correct that but will likely not starve herself.

Yea, that’s a good idea. Bankrupt the food producers to make yourselves feel righteous about saving the environment.

This doesn’t seem to be an authentic agricultural process. It reads like the dairy was dumping waste on the fields. Regardless, what’s the use of food if you poison the water.

Let’s hold politicians accountable by the same standards. Their mouth excretes far more manure than any cow ever does...

What about the pollution from manure produced by black-robed clowns in the federal courts?

Awesome decision..........

Regardless of the majority here that think that being conservative means a license to destroy ground water, and damage people in the process.

The factory farm model was actually invented by a leftist university called Cornell. We were doing just fine with grazing livestock and solid waist disposal which did not create so many severe problems.

If you were take a crap in an open field the DEC could hall your butt to jail for contamination. But these MODERN farm methods could dump 1000 gallons of raw liquid manure in one spot and get away with it.

The district court ruling, if upheld, could affect any large livestock facility that produces more manure than it can responsibly manage ...
As far as I know, this particular aspect isn't new. What's new is the vector of liability being a federal agency rather than a neighbor or the state.
