Maschhoff farms has a poor environmental record.  It has been fined the maximum amount by the Iowa State Department of Natural Resources for violations at other facilities.  We don't want to see the same thing here.  The proposed location, Section 11 in Milford Township, is 4 miles from the Story County Conservation Center, 5 miles from housing in North Ames and Nevada.  The potential for air and water pollution from a facility this size is huge, and shouldn't be tolerated in this location.  When the wind blows, we WILL all smell it.  Our property values and environmental quality WILL suffer.  Let's speak out against CAFOs in Story County!
