EPA requires it.

Cows out in the field leave manure that finds the rivers and lakes when it rains.

Dairy farmers are the largest polluters to Wisconsin's rivers and lakes.

If you own land adjacent to a big Dairy operation, your land may be twice as valuable as normal land. The EPA restricts the number of cows in an operation, based on the contiguous acres to the cow barns of the operation.

The manure must be stored in slurry pits (which recycle the methane into power generation). The liquids are drained off and injected into the ground by a tractor pulling huge hoses that pump the liquids into the ground as it is plowed. Those fields can only be used for certain crops - meant for feeding cows. The solids in the manure is augured out from the bottom and used as bedding for the cows.

If a cows milking life is 4 years, and there are 3,000 cows in the operation, there is a truck delivering and taking cows from that operation almost daily!

Dairy farming has come a long way and is very sustainable.
