Myth #2
- Opponents say “A large scale livestock operation will make my water undrinkable.”

Actually, most manure from livestock facilities is used to put nutrients into the land and replaces commercial fertilizer. Animal manure is important in maintaining water and mineral cycles on native rangeland.
