who would be more than happy to spill the beans.

Folks in these areas are very defensive about the ag industry. I've lived in the Heartland where animal rights groups are viewed as a threat to people's livelihoods and therefore as welcome as syphilis. Had a couple PETA types come to town to protest a CAFO (aka factory farm) and ended up being escorted out by deputies to keep from getting their asses beat by pissed off locals.
