Briefings Held On Proposed Chicken Manure Limit Regs

Farmers and other interested persons are invited to public briefings being held by the Maryland Department of Agriculture on its proposed regulations limiting the use of chicken manure as fertilizer.

During the briefings, the MDA will explain the latest revised regulations and the process that led to their development. MDA personnel will also discuss resources available to farmers to help them manage the impact of the regulations and will answer questions.

The briefings are being held to inform farmers and others of the new proposal before the 30-day public comment period, which begins with publication in the Maryland Register, which is anticipated for Oct. 18.

In the linked article Commissioner Shockley expresses concern about there not being enough suitable land for all the manure generated.
We are now allowing ourselves to become a wasteland for China on top of everything else.
Too many animals being raised in such a small area isn't how it's supposed to and is not only horrible for the environment but horrible for human health. It's nothing but factory farming (and NOT family farmers so stop falling for that propaganda) we have around here anymore.
