Montgomery County is a classic example of an MAUP ... it's almost drawn to capture all of the agricultural areas along the Mohawk Valley without the hills and poorer soils of surrounding counties. Probably this was done historically not by accident.
Apparently there is a lot of videos about different ways you can build pig tractors to till up and fertilize your land using hogs while not spending a shit load of energy and effort shoveling and hauling hog crap. Neat stuff, as you can always use more organic matter on your land, plus, well bacon.
Although repulsive to consider, the truth is we’re constantly consuming food that’s laced with traces of feces, mostly from other humans. As soon as you accept that reality, you will realize that proper hygiene is the key to food safety.
