Estimated Reading Time: < 1 minute
This online reference uses information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to map out factory farms across the country.
Compiled by Food & Water Watch, this online reference uses 2002 Census of Agriculture data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to map the number of animals in factory farms and the number of factory farms in each state and county. Listed farms are those locations that fit the Environmental Protection Agency’s definition for a confined animal feeding animal operation (CAFO).
This online reference presents graphical US data on numbers and locations of factory farms by state, country and animal (cattle, hogs, dairy, broilers, layers).
