2:43 p.m. Study ranks Missouri in top 10 where hogs are raised



Missouri ranks in the top 10 states where hogs are raised in huge farming operations known as confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), according to data released Tuesday by Food & Water Watch.

Despite the number of poultry operations in Southwest Missouri, the state as a whole did not rank among the most prevalent states in chicken or egg production.

“These factory farms are becoming the dominant method of meat production in the U.S.,” said Patty Lavera, a spokesman for the group. “It’s much different than what people think of as a family farm, and there are a lot of impacts on the environment and surrounding communities.”

The national organization was formed by Public Citizen to raise concerns about the environmental and public health consequences of the operations.
