LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Say no to cruel farming practice

​In response to the Nov. 20 letter “Say yes to ethical farming”: Absolutely not!

To wait 19 years for a phaseout of large concentrated animal feeding operations negates any of the humane farming features included in the Farm System Reform Act. The $10 billion-a-year financial aid to transitioning farmers seems to be the real reason for the bill’s introduction.

Again, the tortured, neglected cattle are cruelly being used. I will not call legislators for passage.
