(2) What passage from Scully’s powerful writing most captured your thoughts? (3) Please comment on the following excerpt: “Yet when corporate farmers need barbed wire around their happy, sunny lands, and laws to prohibit outsiders from taking photographs, and still other laws to exempt farm animals from the definition of ‘animals’ as covered in federal and state cruelty statutes, something is amiss (with) the factory farms, where the suffering is immense and we are all asked to be complicit.” 4) What does Professor John Ikerd mean when he speaks about the “colonization of the US midwestern farmland”? And, what information did you gain from the mp3 interview segment? Please elaborate.
