Sustainable livestock production

This is a message of general inquiry...

1. With beef prices depressed as they are, how are sustainable ag
operations of the various "stripes" (fully organic, lower input, appropriate
input, etc) faring economically?

2. Have counties or states taken action to match livestock production to
land capacity to receive manures? Are there any specific examples?

3. Are there examples of "enlightened accommodation and cooperation"
between animal agriculture and expanding urban/suburban development
that anyone could share?
