“Gallons of untreated sewer water released into ditch in Moline due to mechanical failure and heavy rain.”

Anyone who can put on a good rant about crappy headlines I consider a kindred spirit. In this case, Podcast by George blasts the headline above for saying only gallons. “I bring home gallons of water and milk from the store.”

I couldn’t agree more.  This headline makes it sound like maybe 5 or 10 or a dozen gallons.  Turns out we’re talking about 50,000-75,000 gallons! Literally tens of thousands of gallons of manure!  Holy crap!

But I digress, that’s not what this podcast is about.  The podcast focuses on Iowa CAFOs  being allowed to pollute Iowa’s water with animal waste in part because they are regulated under agriculture rules which are much more lenient than if they were regulated as an industry. Please watch and share this deep dive into Iowa’s water issues and why they have not been solved.
