Groups make another push to end ‘factory farms’
Bills calling for a statewide moratorium on new factory farms are not expected to gain much traction in the Iowa legislature this session.
Several groups are working to stop the development of concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, which they say pollute the air and water, impact the quality of life, and devalue nearby land.
Drew Mogler, a spokesman for the Iowa Pork Producers Association, says if the legislation is approved, it would be a disaster for the state of Iowa and for the pork industry.
