The Rural Voice, 2002-01, Page 5It sounds too good to be true when John Gadd
describes the benefits of liquid feeding for pigs.
The advantages are many and varied, from price
• to in -barn air quality. The added advantage is that
Ontario farmers are way ahead of their
competitors in the
U.S. in adapting
the technology,
with some 115
farms already
using
computerized
liquid feeding. The
disadvantage, you
have to be fairly
large before you
can justify the
costs involved. We
have a report on
the technology.

No farmer wants to go through what Dave and Carolyn
Biesenthal went through when they were among the targets of
a massive lawsuit after the Walkerton water tragedy. Experts
say it's likely to happen again, however, as farmers are held
responsible for environmental problems, real or imagined. In
which case, better check your liability insurance coverage.
