Riverview, the Minnesota-based agricultural company that made the statement, is set to test the goal as it adds to its network of mega dairies by building two facilities along the North Dakotan stretch of the Red River before it flows north into Canada. One barn, near Hillsboro, will contain 25,000 head of cattle; the other, outside Abercrombie, will house 12,500. Together, the two will contain nearly the same number of producing dairy cows as the entire province of Manitoba (and will more than quadruple North Dakota’s quantity).

Sounds theres gonna be a lot of cows and the plans for cleaning up all the cow poop are a but shoddy. So there will probably be a lot of run off into the river, which will then flow into lake Winnipeg. This might make the water in lake Winnipeg kind of nasty as it will literally fill the lake up with cow poop and other pollutants. Not the kind of water want to go swimming in

I don’t know if I understood everything you’re saying here but I think I got the gist of it. Basically, individuals acting alone without the aid of technology can be assholes without wide spread negative consequences. But these same selfish tendencies, when found in large groups aided by technology, can cause a lot damage. Is that a fair summary?
