Cyanobacteria

Iowa farmer Zack Smith:

“The industry has been built for the last 30-40 years on having that wide open unregulated window. As that changes along with public sentiment likely with the issues we’re dealing with in Iowa  – with the nitrates, the load on the treatment plants, the cancer rates, the beach closures –  as we become a smaller and smaller voting block I just don’t see how it’s realistic to think that we can keep doing the same thing, producing awful results for other people and expecting that voting block is not going to say, “hold on a second here.”
