Stop Factory Farms

If you’ve driven around Iowa, you’ve noticed row after row of long metal buildings. These are factory farms run by giant corporations. Decades ago, these were small family farms. Today, over 8,000 factory farms dominate our landscape. They pack thousands of hogs, chickens, and their billions of gallons of manure into one small space in order to maximize profit.  But profits for corporate agriculture come with a price for you and me. Iowans are in a pitched battle to ensure that our state has clean air to breath, clean water to drink, safe food to eat and a high quality of life to enjoy for generations.We can’t sit this battle out.
