Please stop factory farm gas in California's Low Carbon Fuel
Standard that would:
1. Incentivize more corporate factory farms, harming family
farmers, rural communities, and our environment.
2. Create more corporate consolidation in the U.S. livestock
industry.
3. Commoditize methane production, which would fuel more methane
producing practices. 
4. Create additional overproduction of commodities, pork and milk,
increasing supply and further pushing down market prices paid to
independent family farms. 
5. Pay foreign multinational meatpackers, like Chinese-owned
Smithfield and Brazilian-owned JBS, for their pollution. 
6. Create incentives for the public (taxpayer dollars through
government subsidies) to fund anaerobic digesters to capture
factory farm gas. 

As a farm family living in the Midwest, we don't need more factory
farms or their biproducts.  Family farms are what has helped make
this country great--individuals who love and care for the land and
animals and our environment.  We don't need more corporate farms
that pollute our water and air and land.
