Thanks for sending this article to the list, Debbie. It would have been
beneficial for Iowa if the candidates for governor and secretary of
agriculture had spent more time discussing hog lots. Iowa has more to offer
the world than corporate factory farms. Why must we have this inferiority
complex that if we are not number one in hog production, we are worthless?

Has anyone on this list heard Cindy Watson speak in Iowa or elsewhere on hog
lots?

Lyle, what would it take to give Iowa voters the ability to get initiatives on
the ballot to vote on? An  amendment to the Iowa constitution?
