Controversy level
- The company's industrial hogfarming operations in eastern North Carolina, which store pig manure in openair anaerobic 'lagoons' and spray the liquid waste onto surrounding fields, were the subject of a series of federal nuisance lawsuits by predominantly Black, Latino and Native American neighbours, who won jury verdicts in 2018 (initially totalling approximately $550 million before statutory caps) over noxious odours, swarms of flies, buzzard infestations and contamination affecting their quality of life and property.
