Large hog #farms generate more wastewater than most towns, and nitrate pollution in water is a real problem. The industry is dominated by a few large and profitable companies. One would think they could pony up $$ to aid #rural counties to build enough sewage treatment facilities to treat all that hog poop. #WaterQuality #Iowa #EnvironmentalProtection #PublicHealth #Agriculture

June 12, Trump administration began directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( #ICE ) to pause investigations and enforcement actions in the agricultural, hotel, and restaurant industries. He acknowledged his immigration agenda had negatively impacted these industries and promised changes. However, on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security told its staff that it had reversed this decision and to continue immigration raids at #farms #hotels and #restaurants https://www.readtangle.com/trump-immigration-industry-carveouts/?ref=the-sunday-edition-newsletter

This is the beautiful "Hilltop Farm" ... based on a photo I snapped in Suffield, Conn. in 2014. It turns out, the barn has a wonderful history and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the "Hilltop Farm Historic District." The barn was constructed by George Hendee, of Indian Motorcycle fame, in 1914 and was a modern marvel of its time.

International Fresh Produce Association

“Enforcement actions targeting agricultural laborers are highly disruptive to farm operations and the produce supply chain consumers rely on," said IFPA. "They are also the culmination of decades of inaction from policymakers and a broken labor system. These actions are exacerbating an already-fragile labor situation, threatening the long-term viability of U.S. agriculture and impacting the broader supply chain, from packers and wholesalers to retailers and transportation providers.
