Farley dairy fined over repeated creek contamination in Iowa
Strief Farms of Farley Dubuque County faced a 7500 dollar penalty after regulators linked manure discharges from storm water intakes to Johns Creek tributary north east of Cedar Rapids. Investigations in 2022 and 2023 found manure entering a new intake, with high ammonia nitrogen levels downstream. The dairy received a grant in 2024 for labor saving tech while pledging prevention plans.
