A good article about dairy industry pollution in New Mexico, and the fight to change laws to clean up the industry. It's an ongoing fight indeed, but one that needs to be fought! From the article: "The dairy industry is New Mexico's largest agricultural sector and an influential lobbying force. Although the state Environment Department has long worked with dairies to reduce pollution, change has been slow: Almost 60 percent of the state's dairies have polluted groundwater with manure runoff, yet not one has begun the required cleanup."
