Concerns over an 11,660 head cattle feedlot that received operating approval from the Iowa DNR as a confined animal feeding operation has led to court action in Polk County, Iowa. Iowa Sierra Club has filed a lawsuit against the DNR for letting Supreme Beef in the Bloody Run Creek area be able to move forward. Jess Mazour is Conservation Program Coordinator For the Sierra Club.
She says the DNR allowed a faulty NutrIent Management plan for the feedlot to be approved.

Mazour says they have questions about political influence allowing this CAFO to be approved which is another of their major concerns.

Mazour says the Bloody Run Creek area in Northeast Iowa’s Clayton County has some of the most environmentally sensitive land in the state.
