“The agency opposes Pflum‘s bill, calling it a threat to the state‘s billion-dollar livestock industry. He said Indiana‘s hog and dairy industries grew 8 percent to 10 percent last year in response to consumers‘ growing demand for pork and milk products. He noted the state‘s livestock farms take great steps to protect the environment from damage from the animal waste the farms generate. “Today‘s animal agriculture is the safest for the environment and the most heavily regulated in history,” he said. “Modern agriculture operates with the utmost care of our state‘s resources.”

Did ANYONE ELSE out there hear absolutely ANYTHING about the “HUMAN” issues here? Andy speaks of how safe these farms are to the environment and Oh Boy , “Indiana‘s hog and dairy industries grew 8 percent to 10 percent last year” See, it always ends up with “money”. Let’s not mention airborne allergies, Crohns disease, and other diseases and illnesses that family’s will be living with after the so called “safe” farming techniques are put in effect. If Andy is opposed to the possible threat of Indiana’s billion-dollar livestock industry, Then he surely must be “In Favor of” the threat to Indiana’s MOST important commodity of all… “Human life” and the process of eliminating All forms of it in rural communities! There will be MANY ghost towns in Indiana, Andy. You and your boys should have plenty of avaliable land in the next 5 years. Maybe you can turn Indiana into, “Disneyana” and build a 350 sq. mile amusement park where the citizens used to live. That’s ok, dry us up and move us out to Illinois or some other state. Where will all of these large CAFO’s get their multimillion dollar subsidies from then? Let the politicians that have traded human life for money pay for their Big Ag buddies from their own pockets. Keep it in the family, sound good to you?
