Iowa Senate Votes 43-6 For Polluted Waterways

BFIA Action Alert

contributed by Molly Regan

Unfortunately, the IOWA Senate voted to allow manure to be spread on frozen ground.  This is appauling!  Please contact your Representative to insist they vote this down.  It may come to the floor Friday, March 28 or next week. It will only contribute to the already heavily polluted waterways in IOWA.  There are other ways of handling this. And we need to tell our Representatives to vote NO to manure on frozen ground....NO manure of any kind, liquid or dry, makes no difference...both are bad.
 
Bill Senate File 432 has now gone from the Senate (were it passed as amended 43-6) to the House of Representatives.
