Florida Man Arrested for Illegally Composting Horse Manure
by: Erin Ryder, News Editor
August 01 2007 Article # 10117

A Loxahatchee Groves, Fla., man has been arrested by authorities with
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection because he had
allegedly collected around 20,000 cubic yards of horse manure, the South
Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.



Good. If the idiot had simply read a grownup newspaper perhaps once every
week for the past 10 years, he might've noticed steps that many hog
farmers now have to take, in order to compost manure without turning it
into a public hazard because of the quantitites concentrated in one
place.

Idiots *should* be arrested and made to feel financial pain.


"Hog farmers". How does one plant a hog?

Hey....that's what I've heard them call themselves.

I think I'd try rooting cuttings, if I were raising hogs.
