A reporter long familiar with the controversy, Carolyn Johnsen draws on a wealth of interviews, archival material, and her own extensive experience as a journalist to present a timely, informative, and balanced account of this complicated and troubling agricultural practice--and to put a human face on its causes and consequences. Here everyone has a say: farmers and neighbors suffering from proximity to the factory hog farms; pork producers adopting the latest hog confinement technology in the face of fierce opposition; politicians attempting to interpret the \"science\" and shape public policy in a maelstrom. The result is the story of a struggle for the heart and soul of rural America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Johnsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 5.98w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803276178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarolyn Johnsen is an award-winning reporter and associate producer for news and public affairs at Nebraska Public Radio Network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40139364139123,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_401534c9-1d97-41e1-a497-3643504c22bd.jpg?v=1654434660","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/raising-a-stink-the-struggle-over-factory-hog-farms-in-nebraska-9780803276178","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
