NYS proposes a limit of 700 cows per farm. . . Some thoughts.
A) it should depend on the size of the farm? would that be per acre? Per hectare (about 2.5 acres)?
B) the stated concern is runoff of cow manure into New York's waterways and groundwater. Better management of storm water runoff and pesticide infiltration is as much if not more of a concern; in my oppinion.
And C) the distribution of wealth by local\family owned(small time) farms is at risk being able to compete with farms of industrial scale outside of the state of New York. Any feedback. . . Or thoughts? Please respond.
Furthermore when is the opportunity for public comment\forum?
