Well, my choice of words was not random. These were wooden buildings
with no windows. Inside were stacked trays upon trays of "soil". There
was a very methodical, controlled cycle that they went through. The
humidity and the temperature were controlled. To me
they certainly resembled factories, even more so than the chicken
raising farms that I believe I've heard you decry. And they certainly
didn't resemble the farms I saw in the rest of the Pennsylvania
countryside, especially the Amish sections.
