Did you all see the pictures on the news of the dead hogs in N.C.? And the
hog wastes that were in the flood waters? It is an environmental disaster.
That is what can happen when these facilities are allowed to locate in
flood plains. Guess Iowa hog prices will probably go up. And I wonder how
many NC hog farmers will relocate, and where they will go?
