Episode 027 - Animal Ag, It's Time to Wake Up

Let's talk about CAFOs. Confined Animal Feeding Operations. Yep, we're going there. It seems like they're always in the news, and even in the western U.S., activity against larger animal ag operations seems to be gaining ground. Why? Valene and Katharine dig into this issue this week. We talk about some of the legislation being brought against animal agriculture, why this might be happening, and how livestock producers can begin to work to protect themselves and others in the industry. We talk about animal rights activists, how they're not backing down, and how agriculturists can respond.
