Exposed: The Fairfield Hills Mining Saga

In the mid-60s, in Florida's rural Northwest Marion County, quarter horses once thrived on a 600-acre farm owned by Jeffrey Winans' mother, Carol Harris. But after discovering one of her foals had a birth defect, similar stories are heard around town about other animals suffering from similar ailments-not to mention the mysterious absence of birds and insects that used to call this place home.

After inspecting and researching the neighboring Mid-Florida Mining company, Jeffrey is shocked to learn that possible human remains, likely from the Second Seminole Indian War, have been excavated and dumped into the mine. The company's burning of motor oil, whose chemicals have been carried by the wind and spread around for years, also raises some concern.

Could the mining company be responsible for the cause of the animal deformities and illnesses? Jeffrey is about to find out.
