Hog Farms and Bamboo



N.C. NEWSPAPER WINS PULITZER PRIZE FOR HOG FARM SERIES
       The Raleigh News and Observer last month won journalism's
highest honor -- the Pulitzer Prize for public service -- for its
stories about the corporate hog farm industry in North Carolina,
and its related health and environmental problems.  The newspaper
"was recognized for stories that appeared throughout the year
revealing how agricultural corporations were replacing small
family hog farms with modern complexes, which relied on untested
waste disposal systems that polluted the environment and posed
major health risks," according to The New York Times.

This issue has a solution waiting to be tested. Can anyone put me in touch
with a corporate hog farm operation that needs waste water treatment help?
There are bamboo growers waiting to put the bamboo to the test as a
treatment step and fiber producer on dairy farms with wastewater ponds. How
about hog farms?
