Some communities are being forced to live with CAFO manure practically raining down on them, endangering public health with toxic air and polluted watertables, rivers, and lakes.
Big Ag has been ordered to pay over 50 million to the plaintiffs in the North Carolina hog nuisance case. And, there are 25 more cases waiting in line for trial. This is a message the industry can’t ignore.

Some research suggests that the plethora of chemicals and pathogens found in liquid manure can have serious health impacts, ranging from respiratory disease to potentially lethal antibiotic resistant infections. Opponents fear wider use of manure irrigation will increase the risk of human illness and drinking water contamination.
Critics also question the ability of the DNR, relying mostly on citizen complaints and self-reporting by the huge dairies, to adequately regulate a practice that has already been shown to pollute waters and drive people from their homes.
