I aim to write stories that inspire about issues that matter. I love the world and the road, but I also love coming home.

Reading "Wastelands" by @CorbanAddison. Story is about a case against Smithfield but it speaks to the growth of Chinese owned ag operations in the US. A lot of recent talk here about the Chinese buying pot farms in Oklahoma, but this problem has existed for decades across ag.

@MrRural So glad you enjoyed it! It was such a pleasure to write.

“We’ve been fed this illusion that all the stuff we buy to wear and eat just magically appears." We spoke to author @CorbanAddison about his haunting new book "Wastelands" and the devastation of industrial animal agriculture: https://t.co/Ust5wzrBXV

[ABC News Live @ABCNewsLive]

"It took seven years of litigation and five federal trials before... the hog industry bent the knee."

@CorbanAddison discusses his new book that tells the story of how N.C. residents took on a huge corporation that brought environmental destruction to their town.

#business #legal #history #books "Wastelands: The True Story of Farm Country on Trial" @CorbanAddison - monumental journalistic & narrative feat, vividly brings to life travails of folks who've suffered great harm from "Boss Hog" in eastern NC. Page-turner that teaches & moves.

@tvsoundoff Thanks so much for these great words, Curt. It’s an honor to receive such a thoughtful and excellent review.

[curt schleier @tvsoundoff]

Between Roe, SCOTUS, formerPOTUS, climate change, COVID I thought I'd reached my limit of rage. Then I read @CorbanAddison's Wastelands, brilliant reportage of corporate malfeace and political payoffs. Luckiy, I had room for a bit more rage.

@NickKristof Thanks so much, Nick! And for all of your enlightening work through the years telling the stories of the oppressed and disenfranchised.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

One revelation: Chinese companies raise hogs in the US because it's cheaper to grow them here than in China. That's partly because China has tougher rules on managing waste than the US does. A big hog farm produces more waste than a small city but has no sewage treatment plant.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Rave review of "Wastelands," by @CorbanAddison, a nonfiction legal thriller about neighbors standing up to a giant company raising hogs. These factory farms are almost as cruel to people as they are to the hogs. https://t.co/iEIZMq5bqM
