I don't think we are the right agency to provide you what you are looking for, and I think a phone call could clear it up pretty quickly.
What is your phone number?

Michelle,
We do not have any records responsive to your second or third bullet. I believe those facilities are under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Agriculture and so you may want to reach out to them with your request.
Regarding your first bullet, this is a very broad request that we expect could take us several months to compile and I expect there would be a cost associated with it.
I have been trying to reach you for several days to discuss this part of your request. Obviously, a narrower request could be done faster and may or may not have a cost. Also, does the information about other two requests impact this request?
Please let me know if or how you would like us to proceed.
Thank you,

Dan Kulin
