I only saw the movie once, it came out while I was in College and don't remember much about it. If I remember correctly some points the Fredric Halbert put in his book where there and some weren't and some he he didn't have were brought up (Ron Howard's wife being told not to nurse her child) if I remember the Halbert's didn't have any infants when the contamination occurred. I also don't think the movie dove into the resistance the MDA used in trying to find out what really happened, and the hint that maybe Farm Bureau was behind some of it. Then in a movie it's hard to pack all the facts in and there is also the concern for slander and defamation of character so they might of slacked off on some of the darker themes. The TV series Lou Grant also had an episode that was quite familiar only the animal feed was contaminated with anti freeze. I pretty much left Michigan having only spent maybe 5 years in Michigan since I graduated and three of those were while serving in the Air Force at K.I Sawyer Air Force Base, was a Michigan resident for about 5 more years but didn't actually live there. I have since heard the Burial pits they implemented when it was finally decided that contaminated livestock should be removed from the food chain are restricted areas and the state is spending a lot of time and money trying to keep the contamination from getting out of the burial pits and the Michigan Chemical Corporation's plant in St Louis is managed as a major super fund site and a lot of money has been spent trying to contain the toxic mess they left behind.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
