States' Management of AFOs: Balancing Economic Benefits and Environmental Responsibilities

Paul Johnson¹

We often hear the dual challenge "common sense and good science." Unfortunately, we are now faced with an animal agriculture that seems to have ignored both.

It will also call us to individual and corporate responsibility that many have thus far been unwilling to accept.
