Iowa & The Environment:
The Coalition to Misinform

The Iowa Populist has an excellent evaluation of the recent formation of a coalition to aid livestock producers.  As The Iowa Populist writes, “This isn't a group set up to take on the causes of public mistrust – it's a group set up to handle public relations and defend current practices.  There is a strong reason that the public views confinement operations in a bad light – time after time, the industry has shown that it is utterly incapable of policing itself.”

To join the fight, visit Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement or the Iowa Farmers Union.  I've just added both of these sites to the Iowa Sites component on the right sidebar of Blog for Iowa.
