Until the recent passage of Bill C-81, the establishment and operation of livestock production facilities within Ontario was authorized by the municipal government. [...] The industrialization of the North American livestock sector has been associated with a geographic concentration of production in fewer regions and a shift in production to areas with little prior livestock experience. [...] Another reason for the major shifts in livestock production within the US may be the increasingly important role of the processing sector and the integration of this sector back into production. [...] The largest increase in hog production occurred in the Southeast and Southwest U. S. and in the Rocky Mountains, which were not traditional hog production areas with most of the increase concentrated in a few states (i.e North Carolina, Arkansas and Oklahoma). [...] A unique aspect of the study was the construction of a relative index on the level of environmental regulations facing farmers in each state over a period of 40 years.
