Chicken producers

Apparently he is running for governor (democrat party). Wonder how much of this is publicity motivated.

Who cares if he's a Dem??? If these farmers are screwing up the environment why should they be exempt????

That's right. The sooner we put the polluting farms & corporations out of business the better off we'll be! Not sure who'll grow our food & make our stuff though?

That he is a democrat is just a fact.

"Industry spokeswoman Jackie Cunningham says agriculture is an easy target, but other sources of pollution, such as small towns, golf courses, cattle ranches and nurseries, should be taken into account.

"There's this picture that's been painted that's just not true," Cunningham said. "People who don't understand our industry think that we just have chicken litter piled up in the countryside with nowhere to go.""

Sounds to me like the chicken producers are being blamed but there are multiple sources of possible pollution. Tinkering with the food supply is something that should not be taken lightly. I think we can take care of the golf course issue first without causing shortages and food price inflation.

This is great!! Get rid of those polluters. They're making a buck at our expense. It would be nice to see a trend towards a more responsible broiler industry. And it would only mean good things for backyard chickens.
