Cindy Whitlock, a Missouri family farmer, speaks about CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) and how her and other Missouri family farmers were able to effectively fight state legislation that would take away local control of health ordinances for the 2009 Farm Aid concert.

a cafo is not always a factory farm. usually they are family owned and help the economy of the community. i live on a grain and beef farm in northern illinois and the regulations and taxes here are so anti-livestock its crazy. i know its not the good old days anymore and making a living growing crops is a lot easier than milking cows 365 days a year but i would like to drive around and see some livestock instead of just corn and soybeans.
