What I was getting at was the control of manure since the Clean Water Act.  If you
have so many head of "whatever" you're required to store manure in a cement lined pit
rather than just dump it in/on the ground like people used to do.  Factory farms have
probably been doing something similar out of necessity, but around here even barns
with 20-30 horses were getting federal funding for building manure pits so there
would be no runoff.
