2nd meeting of the legislative summer study committee will take place on Sept. 19th. Only agenda item so far appears to be CAFO's and their environmental effects.

Concentrated animal feeding operation. Basically a bunch of farm animals in a somewhat small area. Keeps them confined for more than 45 days a year. The pig cafos are the big worry now I believe.

It seems a bit funny to me that CFO's are suddenly such an issue now that "Organic" is such the trending buzzword in food.
