What’s a CAFO? Jeff Harris will tell you
Stymied by conventional political methods, State Rep. Jeff Harris did what so many of his colleagues have already done: Make his own video.
A farm-animal cartoon, no less.
Though it may not have the same appeal as the, say, now infamous Brock Olivo interview, Harris, a Democrat running for Attorney General, released a production today highlighting his stance on something called a CAFO.
What’s a CAFO, you ask?
As Harris is eager to tell you, a “concentrated animal feeding operation” is just what it sounds like - a high-density farming outfit that packs a lot of livestock in a small place.
One of the concerns surrounding these type of facilities is the environmental impact - all that animal waste has to go somewhere.
Harris, who’s from Columbia, has legislation that toughens the requirements to open an animal-feeding outfit.
But Harris says that House Speaker Rod Jetton has kept the legislation from reaching the floor - hence the video pitch.
