Master Matrix

Iowa has a huge water quality problem. A major contributor is the incredible number of CAFO’s (confined animal feeding operations) that pour incredible amounts of waste into the environment. Animal wastes and animal smells help destroy rural Iowa and its waters. Each year counties may pass a resolution that allows the board of supervisors to have input on siting and construction of CAFO’s. Boone County is among a minority of counties that has yet to pass the resolution for 2021. Contact the supervisors and urge them to pass a resolution for this year. They meet on the 27th and the deadline is the 31st of this month. Time is of the essence.
