Downwind of the big dairy farm

A tale of an (originally Amish) CAFO. And the neighbors downwind.

To those who were fortunate enough to be upwind of Samuel Lantz’s dairy farm — in the corporate offices of an industrial livestock company, perhaps, or in certain corners of the Indiana State House — the events of autumn 2003 would not have raised many eyebrows. Samuel Lantz did what farmers all over Indiana do every year: He put up a barn, populated it with a herd of dairy cattle, and began milking.
