Some people say
where there's a
pig farm, there's
pollution.
Now
that
stinks.
Commitment On a farm, clean water is
everything. Most of us live on our farms, and we
know that animal health and business success both
depend on a clean environment. So we invest
millions of dollars every year in research and new
technology for reducing environmental impact.
We support Ontario's tough new clean water
legislation, and we are committed to working under
strict Nutrient Management Plans that help protect
soil and water quality. In Ontario, a hog farm is a
smart combination of science, practical experience
and common sense, where commitment to a clean
environment comes first. The truth is clear — and
anything less than that stinks.
