Yest the 16th farm has filed an application for expansion to CAFO status. Kewaunee is perhaps the worst place in the state to locate these operations with their Karst soil/rock formations that allow quick seepage of manure directly down into the rock aquifer. The county could never produce enough feed for all the cattle there now. It is trucked in. Which means the amount of manure just keeps increasing and the land just cant take it. http://manitowocmegaphone.blogspot.com/2015/02/walkers-shit-storm-of-outrage.htmlBernard J.

Should Blue Baby syndrome (aka methemoglobinemia now prevalent in Yakima Valley in Washington state, caused by too many nitrates in surface waters and aquifers) come to Wisconsin, I'm quite sure DBA members will lose no sleep.MALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503524741573516284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431626075970716650.post-88839058436057257742015-08-12T09:34:07.697-05:002015-08-12T09:34:07.697-05:00In the 2012 25th Assembly primary I was the only f...In the 2012 25th Assembly primary I was the only farmer in the race having had a 60 cow operation and still owning a small farm here in Manitowoc county. One would have thought that familiarity with the industry would have gotten some points with them. Instead DBA endorsed my opponent Jim Brey who openly opposed the Clean Water Act as an "unfunded mandate" because of urban run off requirements. Only in the general election DBA turned and endorsed Republican Paul Tittl who eventually won by a large majority. Go figure!Bernard J.
