Farmer’s Nightmares

  • In the 1850s, New York witnessed the worst scandal in history related to farmers. Tens of thousands of people suffered, with eight thousand infants dead in just one year, all because farmers decided to save on cow food. They sold the contaminated milk of sick animals, adulterating it with water, sugar, plaster, and even rotten eggs. This resulted in mass poisoning and a soaring number of casualties. A true farmer's nightmare... but those were bad farmers. These people knew what they were getting into and did it anyway. But some things are simply impossible to control. Farms are not the safest place in the world.

    I was on a farm in Tanzania, roughly 6 years ago. There were some cows. The gas that was produced by the waste was captured and fed to the kitchen hob. All food was cooked on cow's methane. A very nice and direct method.

    i worked on a cow farm when i was younger and we were adding water to the basin below the cows ( where all the poop drops to, so we could drain it ) as it was mixing ( and we were standing outside ) we saw a couple cows just pass out. and called the farmer as we never saw such a thing, he ordered us ( both 15 and 16 ) to instandly run away and he turned off the machine. The gasses that came up from the basin killed the cows instandly and gave a dozen others severe methane poisoning ( so they had to be put down ), ever since i have been handling cowpoop with the utmost care, if we were standing inside at that time, we wouldve died b4 anyone wouldve noticed
    The cows that die had to be placed in a bin next to the farm and collected by a certified company. This however never happened. A nearby Chinese restaurant took the dead cows and used them for their food. We found this out years later. ( they obv got arrested and prosecuted )

They were shut down soon after that. They all come from China cause the people there eat everything. From ants to bats and from cats to dogs. If its moving its food, not sure if they'll eat humans too I think they try to avoid that but if they're hungry enough 🤔 they probably will. Sorry, from what I have heard this is what I learned. I personally do want to visit China as I also know you can't judge people without meeting em.

      They forgot to tell that cows get inflated when they get food they normally would not get. Or only get that kind of crap. They naturally eat grass and other plants like it with not much energy to it.
      However to boost the cows milk production they are breed into milk machines and to sustain that energy need to produce so much milk they cant just eat grass. They get mostly concentrated feed for this reason. One of the the things they get is soy and corn. This is to much for the stomach of the cows. Naturally, cows wont get inflated and this is the shit and cruel stuff we done to them. Remember the BSE sickness from the 90? This killed people and cows because the brain was eaten by the sickness! THIS was caused by concentrated feed that was made out of cows they feed to cows, super nice eh? It was really scary and people shit them self and stopped to produce this kind of feed INSTANT all over the world.

Also a cow on pasture gives less milk then a cow in a cow barn because cows in a barn spend more time laying down and chewing thire cud then spending energy walking and grazing also dairie cow dont get the proper nutrition on just pasture alone.. also since you dont know all dairy farms have a air system that filters fresh air in and old air out every two hours so there for there is no smell. And thire gas is no diffent then our. also most feeds are also byproducts from foods we cant eat ourselves.

    Whoever edited this video, and made the thumbnail did wonderfully!! Very smooth transitions, and the thumbnail looks very natural.
    I lived in Lacey, WA (connected to Olympia, the capitol), and on the outskirts of that city is an area called Hawk's Prarie, which we locals pray we never have to visit. It's becoming much more built up, and much more residential as time passes... only one problem with that: Ostrom Mushroom Farm. So far as I'm aware, Ostrom has been in the area for a very, very long time- much longer than residents have been common. They use manure as the main substrate for their mushrooms, in a large, enclosed warehouse (enclosed to control how much light the mushrooms receive). A few times a day, they turn on fans and refresh the air within the warehouse. If a bus has passed through the area while they're fanning, it will reek as though someone was lactose intolerant, and let loose some wicked diarrhea in the bus long passed Hawk's Prarie. So far as I know, the residents are becoming increasingly upset with the smell, but they can't do anything, because Ostrom has been there so much longer. Nonetheless, with as much as the city has been adding residential plots to that area, I wonder if Ostrom will ever be ousted- or even offered a place to move.
    Thank you for putting this episode together- it's a topic I've been well aware of, living in a farm-integrated city, but a topic I feel most people are unaware of. I'm not against eating meat, but I definitely believe there's better ways of doing it than we have going, currently.

    Simply spraying cow or pig manure on farm land is not allowed in the Netherlands. Manure has to be injected, so it's immediately under ground. Costs a bit more, but it saves a lot of complaints.
    Notes:
    - It's not perfect.
    - I have not looked this up, it's just from memory.
    - However, wherever you go through the countryside, you never see or smell fresh manure, or the tanks just spraying it the way they did, long ago. Whew.

    You might want to look into the difference of methane produced between grain/corn fed beef and grass fed beef.
    My understanding is most cattle are at least corn finished(fed a corn diet before slaughter) which cows have the wrong stomach to digest leading to massive overproduction of methane (oversimplified).
    I beleve the study you are referring to compares corn fed and finished with algae fed cows, however if you compare algae and just any old grass it would be much closer in methane produced without all the added transportation greenhouse gasses from moving the algae.
    Along with rotational grazing and relying on grass it has been shown to be one of the largest and most energy efficient methods of carbon sequestration while also lowering the labor needed to produce meat& milk and building the soil with organic materials and better habitat for microorganisms.
    But don't just take my word for it, reserch for yourself and learn about the beautiful symbiosis that has been going on for millenia.
    Think about it, if cows and other ruminants are such a cataclysmicly horrible problem then why hasn't millions of years farts rendered the earth an empty fire ball swirling through the cosmos...?

    I live in the Texas Panhandle. When I first got here, the smell of the (extremely high number of) cattle ranches, feedlots and slaughterhouses bothered me... well, moderately. It wasn't torture or anything. The slaughterhouses were particularly distinct from ordinary cow smell; I once described it as "fried sewage". But now I've been here for about 14 years or so and it's just... normal. I've done some construction work on farms, driven around and near them. It doesn't even bug me now. In fact, it even feels like it's almost a positive thing. Whenever I move away, I might miss it. You really can get used to anything.

      Swine slurry sprayed as fertilizer on fields would bother you. It will make you vomit. In my rural area, even farmers objected and the county outlawed it. They do use chicken litter all the time, though, and that's bad enough; I've never gotten used to it. They still let folks bury dead horses and livestock on their land. I worry about my well.

    The anthrax scenario is really scary. In Maryland, there's a place called Beltsville farms, run by the University of Maryland. They have cows with glass stomachs. My dad and I use to ride bikes there in the 1980's. It was quite interesting. The views and the smells.

    Worth noting. Even with the right to farm laws and similar that ensure the farmer is allowed to farm there are laws that the farmer must also follow. It actually is possible for farmers to get in trouble for their farms being to stinky though this is rare as most farmers keep their farms relatively clean (for a farm I mean) and the only way for the farm to become that bad would involve the farmer being negligent with the management of the farm and the animals on it. Yes the farm will still stink even when maintained properly but nothing compared to a farm that is not managed well.

    Small note about the additives to methane and similar smell-less, explosive, gases, part of the reason people started to do that was because of the New London School Explosion.
    In March of 1937 in Rusk County Texas, Lemmie Butler turned on a sander in the London School, sparking the natural gas that had built up from a leak in the school’s heating system. That spark caused an explosion that killed over 295 and many more were injured, making it the third worst disaster in Texas history.

    I feel like this video paints an unfair picture of the American livestock farmer. Most farms that I have been around have a much lower net carbon footprint than your average household. Animal waste is recycled to fertilize crops and build up top soil. The ammonia is used up by crops. While methane is a concern most of it is broken down in the upper atmosphere. Much quicker than CO2 emissions. As for the portion of the video on Anthrax outbreaks, I have never heard of a livestock operation being a cause of an Anthrax outbreak so not sure while it was given time in this video. All that being said, I do enjoy this creators videos only wish more time would have been spent researching this topic. I think it would have been much more in tune with reality.

    "Lidocaine injections in several spots, completely anesthesizing the area."
    As someone who, about three times a year, has to get a medical procedure that involves shoving needles through my back under lidocaine (and pain meds) let me just say... Those poor cows. Lidocaine in no way fully numbs an area. You still feel the pressure, and pin pricks of pain that can range from "ouch" to "holy hell!" Depending on how much oxygen and pain meds you've been given.

    So , back in 2001, San Jacinto "California", I exercised Frisian horses on a dairy farm that was located down the hill from the now infamous Scientology compound in the Hemet valley California, (golden Era film production company , had a pirate looking ship and mysterious death as janitor electrocuted via moping) back on topic; the Scientologists who moved in way after the farm , were suing the dairy farm on account of all the flies. This is a true documented court case.just before Tom started jumping on furniture and arguing morning news anchors about the history of psychology. In fact I wonder if the head of scientology's missing wife was held there now that I think about it?. Anyways I was just the horse trainer, except the horses spoke Spanish and I only knew German commands so I didn't stick around long. Ha ha. I was still in high school give me a break.

    Hi I am living in a smal village next to rasdorf mentioned in the video and first of all I want to say that I am surprised that I ever hear the case of the blown up farm again.
    But I have to say my hous is like 30 meters away from a cowfarm and 200 meters away from our biogas plant and I rarely smell bad things here. I mean it happens but I think it only happens when the farmer transfers the waste from the big tanks ( we call dem Güllegrben) (and yes they are as dangerous as mentioned) to the gas plant.
    Also I like the way you pronounced our lokal newspaper "Hünfelder Zeitung" xD
