Mid level swine production

This was a pig operation we passed by. It was kind of interesting, a far cry from the huge US farms but a step up (of sorts) from having the pigs running around the yard. They had a compost pile of sorts (to the right, not in the picture) but I saw them spraying off large chunks of manure so I assume that they aren't using the composting all the time. The runoff just pooled up beside the pens, I noticed a very week attempt to dig a trench leading from the pens to what looked like some grapes (some sort of viney things) growing nearby but the runoff wasn't reaching them. I think I liked the Korean method better, and I would think it would be less work.
