Environment - Confined Feeding Continues to be an Issue in Municie Paper
More confined feeding stories today in the Muncie Star Press: "Two of six local counties regulate CAFOs," may be found here; "Dairy odor drives neighbors indoors" is here. The Washington Times-Herald has an AP story, also about a Henry County farm: "Flap over dairy farm odor goes to court."
The Columbia City Post & Mail has a story today about spilled milk, and how it is considered an environmentally dangerous substance: "Spilled milk deemed hazardous to the environment."
[Update 3/3/04] IDEM this week asked the Huntington Superior Court to order Johannes DeGroot to reduce his dairy herd by half and to impose strict operational guidelines to avoid future releases of manure to the water. Access the press release here, headed "IDEM asks court to impose fines, severe restrictions on DeGroot Dairy; order farmer to pay state costs, establish spill funds."
