July 21, 2023 at 3:58 pm“Several studies have shown that digester waste emits substantially more ammonia than hog waste from conventional lagoons.

July 21, 2023 at 3:58 pmMore Than a Nuisance As explained in The Outline article, hog farms have been the center of lawsuits for centuries. Hog sties stink, but with the emergence of CAFOs that house thousands of hogs at a time, neighbors have more than a never-ending stench to contend with.

July 21, 2023 at 3:59 pmAt the end of the day, most of the lawsuits today center around the fact that CAFOs are being built in rural areas where people are already living, thereby encroaching on their right to enjoy their own homes and properties.

July 21, 2023 at 4:00 pmLawsuits against hog CAFOs are always referred to as “nuisance lawsuits,” but a farm spraying liquid dung that drifts and settles all over your house, car, and yard is more than a nuisance.

July 21, 2023 at 4:00 pmIt robs you of your quality of life and can have serious health ramifications to boot.

July 21, 2023 at 4:01 pmDespite that, in 2017, the North Carolina legislature implemented new rules to limit “nuisance damages” to fair-market value only, which, of course, dramatically declines as soon as a CAFO is erected nearby.

July 21, 2023 at 4:01 pmThat year, it passed another law limiting nuisance lawsuits to properties located within a half-mile of the source, even though the smell and liquid dung mist from a hog CAFO can carry a lot further than that.

July 21, 2023 at 4:02 pmWe Need Real Change Without a doubt, we need real change in the United States—change that will put an end to China viewing our land as a sewer.
spiritdoc1Prayers: 40019Requests: 2385
July 21, 2023 at 4:02 pmSuch change won’t come easily, however, seeing as how legislators and regulators alike are in the pocket of industry and place their own greed ahead of human health and well-being.

July 21, 2023 at 4:03 pmIf China can implement wastewater treatment and odor control systems, there’s no reason we can’t. Poor rural residents, most of whom can’t afford to move even if they wanted to, should not have to pay for cheap bacon with their very lives.

July 21, 2023 at 4:04 pmAside from that, clean soil and water concern all of us, and both need protection from CAFOs in the form of strict regulations. We also ought to have restrictions on the sale of agricultural assets to foreign nationals.
