Submitted Comment Name Jack Meinzenbach Affiliation Sierra Club Subject Stop California from Fueling MORE Factory Farms in the Midwest Message Including factory farm gas in California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard would: • Incentivize more corporate factory farms, harming family farmers, rural communities, our environment and climate, in Missouri, the Midwest and across the U.S. • Create more corporate consolidation in the U.S. livestock industry. • Commoditize methane production, which would fuel more methane producing practices. • Create additional overproduction of commodities, pork and milk, increasing supply and further pushing down market prices paid to independent family farms. • Pay foreign multinational meatpackers, like Chinese-owned Smithfield and Brazilian-owned JBS, for their pollution. • Create incentives for the public (taxpayer dollars through government subsidies) to fund anaerobic digesters to capture factory farm gas. • Please consider the unintended negative consequences of California's policies on Americans throughout the U.S. File Upload (i.e., Attachments): N/A
