The dairy industry is following the same course. Eventually the consumer will foot the bill. Regulation must be even-handed and fair, even for the Borbas. This should be the responsibility of the administrators of the concerned counties. Whether it be dairies, development, prisons or distribution centers, an even-handed regulatory stance is absolutely essential.
Size is an issue, but becomes the only solution when regulation becomes obtrusive.
Environmental activists must be educated as to what they are really asking for. They were forced into larger, more concentrated operations. Urbanization and the sensitive noses of spoiled urbanites finally caused their demise. Yet these same people persist in needing dairy products. I do not know whether 28,600 cows in one location is good or not, but it may become a necessity to cover expenses of operation if requirements become too intrusive.
