Agricultural Issue Presentation: Factory Farming

To be completely honest I had a really tough time deciding on an agricultural issue to present on despite living my entire life on a dairy farm. I finally decided that (I think) I would like to present on the topic of factory farming. I know that recently many small, family-run dairy farms such as my father's have been forced out of business. The trend favors gigantic, corporate style (factory) farms that I seem to see popping up more and more in our area. I obviously am a supporter of family-run operations, but I am interested to hear both sides of the argument and gain a more broad understanding of the pros and cons of factory farming.

Just had to pay tribute to Justin Mcbride. He is my favorite bull rider of all time. Here's his 2007 ride vs. Chicken on a Chain. Mcbride received a score of 93 for this epic ride. Long live cowboys!
