Hog Waste In The Air - A Small Community Defeats Industrial Farming

Imagine sitting at home on your porch enjoying a nice summer day only to discover hog waste being sprayed on the roof of your house. That’s what happened to Elsie Herring when large scale industrial hog farming operations sprayed pig waste into the air as a way to get rid of it. The community fought back against the industrial farmers and won. That’s the story of Virginia author Corban Addison’s book “Wastelands.” He’s our speaker for Books & Brews at Pale Fire Brewing in Harrisonburg on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.
