After nearly a year the Iowa General Assembly deadlock on livestock regulation led to a dissolved interim committee with no formal recommendations. The issue will reemerge this session as lawmakers contrast committee findings with Gov. Branstad's task force proposals and a bill from Rep. Eddie. The state has no statewide statute on livestock feeding operation sizes, leaving counties to local rules.
