Iowa study links large livestock confinements to lower property values
Iowa State University researchers find large livestock confinements can reduce nearby property values by up to 11 percent when wind carries odor. The study analyzes sales in five counties from the mid-1990s to 2002, noting declines are strongest within a half to one mile and downwind, with effects diminishing beyond one mile. Some local officials dispute the findings, citing stronger market factors.
