Abstract
Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) significantly contribute to the Great Plains economy. In 1987 CAFOs produced a total market value for the region of $16.9 billion: poultry products over $1.4 billion, dairy products over $1.5 billion, swine operations over $4.0 billion, and cattle feedlot operations the greatest contribution—nearly $10.0 billion (U.S. Department of Commerce 1989).
