The video provides an overview of serious economic questions surrounding agricultural waste disposal and offers suggestions for effective waste management. Farmers in the Northeast have traditionally disposed of farm and household waste by maintaining small dumps and by burning combustible materials on-site. Waste oil, pesticides, used batteries, and other potential contaminants, as well as containers, plastics, and cast-off equipment have been disposed of in these ways. Under the pressures of greater numbers of nonfarm neighbors, wider use of plastics that add to the problem of agricultural wastes, and stricter environmental regulation, continued on-site burning and dumping may jeopardize the viability of some farms. In addition, farm lenders are concerned about the impact of environmental degradation on long-term collateral value.
