Rachel Rinner runs Knee Deep Solutions from Washington, expanding from a kitchen table to manage plans for large hog confinements while using Google Earth to map siting, water sources, and land features for compliance and conservation funding.

Iowa county plans target large hog operations in 500 unit threshold

Linn and Johnson counties require manure management plans for operations with 500 animal units or about 1250 finishing hogs. Plans show nearby land for manure spreading, reducing transport costs. Counties vary in policy. Dickinson restricts near lakes, while Linn has few operations and Johnson seeks legislative powers to regulate. Eastern Iowa landowners formed a covenant to block liquid manure from CAFOs, signaling local resistance.
