Purdue and alternative agiculture

We all know that the Governor's agricultural policy is to create huge hog farms, CAFO's. I have made my views known here on the subject. The point here is that we need a comprehensive agricultural plan and not one that merely converts farms to industrial agriculture.

Well, it seems that Purdue has also been working on this idea. Agricultures Magazine has an article about some of Purdue's projects. They also have an article on local producers for local consumers (Ways to Grow did not work for me, but I found the site here and mostly barren.)

Meanwhile, the Washington Post has an article on a farmer's wife who started a creamery. Purdue's dairy page has nothing similar.

Then if you look closely at the copyright dates and the date on the publications, there seems to be a connection. The Ways to Grow website shows a copyright date that ends in 2003. If you go from Ways to Grow to the Jennings County Growers site, their copyright ended in 2005. Then go from the Jennings County Growers to Hoosier Fresh, we have reports that end in 2003. So, is there any connection to Governor Daniels coming onboard in 2004?
