PV2 Larry Sellnow - Good for your family. My daughters family has been farming about 100 years. He uses chicken litter and cow manure for hay for cattle. You have got to be very care with food products. My daughters father in law leased some acreage to a fellow growing cabbage. The guy always had his dog with him. The dog crapped at the edge of the cabbage field. The guy leasing the farm land had to destroy 5 acres because an FDA inspector found it.
