Fresh Express, with 41 percent of the bagged greens market, demands a mile between farm fields and feedlots for cattle instead of the agreement's recommended 400 feet. The company also requires that a field intruded on by a wild pig be kept idle for two years.

This is from the article. Onerous, I would think.

I am convinced that we have become so weak from years of excess meds and crappy food that we cannot even resist a bit of poo in the fields. Hell animals have been pooping in fields since we first starting planting. I know folks got sick and died from these things and food safety is a good thing- but now we have become so weak its a huge deal. soon all our food will be grown in bubbles and boiled and canned before we can eat it. what a load of ...crap!
