I’m from NC. Can confirm hog farming is huge in the Eastern part of the state. To the point that hog sh*t becomes a hazard when it floods. [/quote]

Absolutely true.  And during Hurricanes it's not just massive amounts of hog shit, it's pig carcasses clogging and polluting streams.

And get this:  In the 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Bill the Republicans put language in place blocking EPA from requesting data about livestock operations, arguing that the data is already collected by USDA, but farther down in the same bill they put language in place prohibiting USDA from sharing any data about livestock operations with the EPA, so the one agency that's supposed to deal with things like a flood of hog manure basically got blindfolded, muzzled and ziptied and shoved in a closet, again in the name of unfettered capitalism.

In 2016, Hurricane Matthew killed millions of farm animals and washed massive amounts of manure and carcasses into streams, causing significant contamination - https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/10/hurricane-matthew-killed-animals-hog-poop and it keeps happening (Hurricane Florence in 2018, et cetera) and yet those dumb Republican laws are still in place.[/quote]
