The Law
To prevent the spread of swine fever and other agricultural diseases, local ordinances dictated exactly how farmers could dispose of their food waste. Raw garbage could infect the livestock, which would then threaten the local human food supply. It is a highly practical, if gross, law that highlights the area's farming heritage.
