Union County Board of Supervisors Says No to Factory Farms

Good News!

CCI members in Union County have been fighting hard against a wave of factory farm construction hitting their communities, and this morning in Creston they had a big win. The Board of Supervisors, under community pressure led by CCI members, voted 5-0 to recommend denial of Mike Taylor's proposal to build two Cargill-backed 5,000-head sites!

The DNR now has thirty days to review the application, but the Supervisors' decision was a crucial step in getting this construction stopped. And it all happened because of the hard work of CCI members! This is yet another reminder that ordinary Iowans can fight back and win against the statewide explosion of corporate factory farm construction. 

Join the Fight!
