Time to pass the Master Matrix

It’s time for county supervisors to vote on, pass, and submit the Master Matrix resolution to the Iowa DNR. County supervisors can weigh in on factory farm construction in your communities if they submit the resolution between January 1 and January 31.

Places where once independent family farms were the life blood of rural Iowa are now overrun by factory farms that break down our communities and pollute our water.

The Master Matrix resolution is not the end-all fix but rather an important tool in our organizing kit. This permitting application can be used to stop or slow the factory farm industry with your help.

Contact your county supervisors today!

Tell them to pass the Master Matrix resolution and submit it to the Iowa DNR between January 1 and January 31.

County submissions go to Kelli Book at Iowa DNR: kelli.book@iowa.dnr.gov

Check out a sample of what this resolution looks like.

A county’s voice on new factory farms in their communities will go unheard without this important tool.

These are our communities, and we have the right to decide what’s built on them. Especially when it contaminates the land! It is our county supervisors’ responsibility to uphold that right.
