My grandparents were dairy farmers and in the "old" days cow manure was used

How come now-a-days this is suspected of causing salmonella? Is it the way
cattle are fed now?

I got permission from a rancher neighbor to cross his fence and
gather cow poop this winter, and I got numerous loads of it and
put it in my garden. I mixed it with leaves and some topsoil from
the forest. Then I rototilled it in.
My garden, this spring, has become very prolific. I could probly
grow cows....

However, the veggies grow ABOVE the ground, and only the roots
come in contact with cow poop.
Also, the time involved has allowed the poop to compost, and the
internal heat generated kills a lot of the bacteria and bad stuff.
Commercial cow poop is heavily composted, and is sterile from
the process. Composting also kills the weed seeds in the poop,
which is a real pain in using poop on a garden that isn't composted.

Enough farm answers ?

In my own opinion, the salmonella comes from the Mexicans who
take a crap between the rows of veggies they are picking.....but
that's
just an opinion...

Salmonella comes from veggies that don't have the USDA mandated RFID chip in them. Remember, according to the USDA and their idiotic NAIS program, the RFID chip will stop all disease in its tracks.
