Some new sources

Welp! I'm at home, and I don't have access to my computer at USC, so I figured I could upload my new research here to keep track of what I'm doing. :) I've been trying to find some new sources for CAFO information, since all I have is the Pollan book, and here's a new one I found:

Airborne Bacteria in CAFOs: Transfer of Resistance from Animals to Humans (in Environews; Science Selections)
Julia R. Barrett
Environmental Health Perspectives, Vol. 113, No. 2. (Feb., 2005), pp. A116-A117.

This is from Jstor, which I shall be perusing further. Let's see if I can figure out the Edit button!

In random news, I realized that I misspelled "coloratura" in my blogger account name. I either did this because there's already a "Coloratura" titled blog, or because I was extremely sleepy and didn't realize I was misspelling it. Gah. Talk about embarassing! Let's pretend it was purposeful, shall we?

EDIT: Hey! I figured out how to work it! Here's another source, more academic, but I'll use it for some of my facts.

Concentrated Swine Feeding Operations and Public Health: A Review of Occupational and Community Health Effects (in Research; Reviews)

Technological Change in the Agriculture of the United States and Australia
William McD. Herr
Journal of Farm Economics, Vol. 48, No. 2. (May, 1966), pp. 264-271.
Stable URL: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1071-1031%28196605%2948%3A2%3C264%3ATCITAO%3E2.0.CO%3B2-A
Abstract: This study compares agriculture in the United States with agriculture in Australia with respect to technological change as measured by the Solow model. Over the past three decades the rate of technological change has been about four times as fast in the United States as in Australia. The analysis indicates that three-fourths of this difference may be attributed to two structural features: (a) economies of size associated with out-migration of labor, and (b) the composition of output. The study concludes by noting, first, that comparisons between regions or between countries may help one to understand the character of technological change, and, second, that because of structural differences, the introduction of technical improvements into the agricultural sectors of different countries may not yield similar results.

And, running out of options for sources, I'm going to include this website: it gives some good facts, more than I could find in Jstor and ProQuest combined, and it seems to be reputable. Plus, it's not Wikipedia!
