Your July 8th article "Dairies come in all sizes in Wood County" explained there are several small family dairies as well as several larger operations in Wood County - however; I was disappointed the Sentinel tried to balance the industrial operations that confine 2,200 cows with the Morlock family dairy that pastures 100 cows. This article contained lots of personal opinions and conjecture - but where were the "facts"?
A few years ago the National Association of Local Boards of Health, which is located in BG, published a wonderfully comprehensive guide titled "Understanding Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations [CAFOs] and Their Impact on Communities." The purpose was to help local boards of health understand their role in mitigating potential problems with CAFOs.
