The impact of improper stewardship of the land impacts us all
Welcome to Partners for the Future!
It’s Time to Change ‘Business As Usual.’ Pork production in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) or factory farms is expanding throughout Iowa, fueled by China’s demand for cheap pork. Additional market factors make Northwest Iowa a prime area to build new CAFOs. As a result, Dickinson County is facing its most serious threat yet from the expansion of CAFOs.
TAKE ACTION TODAY!
Here are action steps you can take today to protect our environment:
Educate Yourself
Learn about the problem with Factory Farms and how it will affect you and your family. Review the information on this site, FactoryFarm.org, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, and the Iowa DNR.
Contact Elected Officials
Call, write, or e-mail your elected officials and let them know what you think. Add links here on how to contact elected officials.
Talk to Your Neighbors
Help educate them and let them know how important it is that their opinions are known by local and state representatives.
Report Suspicious Activity
Call us immediately if you see what might be a CAFO being constructed, or if you see what might be an illegal manure dumping.
Support Us
Support our efforts by attending Partners for the Future’s public meetings, volunteering, and contributing to the PFF fund.
