When Terry and Ernest Bateson hear rumbling, they know the trucks are coming.
Every year, semi-trucks filled to the brim with liquid manure drive by the retired farmers home in Wood County s Portage Township. The semi-trucks are carrying waste from the CAFOs, or concentrated animal feeding operations – in layman s terms, factory farms. The road turns brown from the spillage, Ernest Bateson said.
The number of animals in the Maumee watershed has doubled from 9 to 20 million from 2005 to 2018, a study by environmental advocates found. More animals mean more poop – and the poop has to go somewhere.
Some of the poop is ending up in Lake Erie. Farmers spread manure on the fields as fertilizer, and it runs into the Maumee watershed, which flows into the lake.

Ohio Democrats call for police reforms, training in anti-racism and mental health Laura A. Bischoff, The Columbus Dispatch
Ohio House Democrats are pushing for more training, transparency and accountability for the state s 34,000 sworn police officers, which the lawmakers say will go a long way toward eliminating misconduct and bad policing. This type of policing comes at a cost to those who are unfairly targeted, to the taxpayers who are forced to pay out lawsuits for gross misconduct, and for far too many Ohioans who needlessly lose their lives or their livelihoods because we don t have the measures in place to demand more of our law enforcement officers, said House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, D-Akron.
