The group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement plans to hold what it’s calling a “teach-in” this week that will cover things like how large-scale hog confinement lots have impacted Iowa’s water and public health. Jess Mazour is the farm and environment organizer for Iowa C-C-I and says large livestock processing facilities are constantly trying to move into Iowa.
