Rosendale industrial dairy farm project threatens Green Lake, Rush Lake, and Lake Winnebago. All TU members should take time to learn about the proliferation of industrial farms in Wisconsin and the inevitable affects they will have on cold water resources. Who knew that 43 to 75 million gallons of liquid fertilizer would be produced by this farm? Who knew that 23,000 truck trips would be needed to haul manure, sileage, corn, manure and milk?
Rick Fahrenkrug, Neenah, has spent a lot of time studying the Rosendale industrial farm(the WDNR has not signed off on it yet) and industrial farms in Wisconsin in general. He actually read the whole Environmental Impact Statement(EIS) that the DNR did on the the Rosendale farm! Read Rick's Blog on the Rosendale industrial dairy farm and read Rick's well researched reaction to the WDNR's EIS on the Rosendale industrial dairy farm. CLICK HERE FOR RICK'S BLOG! CLICK HERE FOR RICK'S REACTION TO THE EIS! Click Here to read what John S. Nelson, of the UW Madison Civil & Environmental Engineering Department, has to say about the threat of the Rosendale Dairy Farm to our ground water, rivers, and lakes. Click Here to read "The Hidden Link Between Factory Farms and Human Illness" from Mother Earth News.
TU members must watch this 24 minute, Michigan Sierra Club video titled "Living A Nightmare: Animal Factories in Michigan." A documentary about the horrors of industrial agriculture. This will open your eyes. Click Here to see the video!
We have updated the web site adding in all the meeting and events for 2009. Also we have added 14 new pages to our Lets Talk Bugs and 2 new pages Recipes and Member Musings.
