Washington County Suffers Effects of Factory Farms
We have seen a report from a Washington County neighbor that factory farms are a big problem in Salem. There are more than 6000 cows now. The farms are spreading manure in a flood plain and there is runoff into the Battenkill. People in Salem have contacted the Region 5 DEC office. Reports from across New York State indicate that the DEC is not responsive to environmental violations caused by factory farms.
