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.
Go to hell!
Unless the business is dumping raw manure in your property, STFU
They may have coined the term, but such farms were created economic forces, something Leftists are ignorant of.

I have a friend that was ticketed by NYSDEC for peeing in the woods during deer season a few years back.
WRONG THIS IS NOT AN AWSOME DECISION. This is a decision that is most ridiculous that I heard recently. The farmers are not the ones that created liquid manure and made in manditory in most states. Let alone in MD where you have all run off from the barn roofs into the pit. AND in MD you can only put the manure out at certain times! Imagine telling the cows you can’t shi! today, only tomorrow the government said so! This whole mess was created by some book-learned, degree-toting idiot that has never been on a farm, has no common sense and has never seen a cow take a shi!.

That is a posting which has the echoes of a very liberal thought process in it. We here want to conserve a clean environment, but we are constantly assaulted with environmental nazis that want to have a cleaner than natural environment and stomp out all economic activity and ultimately reduce the numbers of polluting humans. I have worked in industry where the emissions were literally required to be cleaner than natural rainwater.
You may applaud the decision but I live in a dairy producing area and I’d like to know a lot more about the actual impact of farms like this before unleashing more greedy lawyers and enviro lawfare profiteers. Balancing this with the possibility that 10 years from now, the enviro-nazis will have individually sued every productive, intensive farm out of business, causing the price of milk ‘to necessarily skyrocket’.
The leftist Cornell that you cite has little to do
with the Cornell agricultural school.
