Iowa Alliance calls for moratorium on new factory farms
A coalition led by IARA urges an immediate statewide halt on large scale livestock operations until water quality improves to fewer than 100 impaired water bodies. They cite 9,000 factory farms, 800 documented manure spills since 1996, and 37 beach advisories, while Gov Branstad's office says the move would hurt agriculture.
