An NCBA official confirms that EPA is targeting CAFOs

Reports out of northwest Iowa this spring indicate that the EPA has stepped up its investigations of cattle feeding operations, particularly those feedlots of one-thousand head or less.  It’s a concern to those small to medium-sized Iowa cattle feeders, but Tamara Thies, chief environmental counsel for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in Washington, says they’re not alone.  Thies also talks about the negative undercurrent running through the EPA—a disdain for what some within the EPA refer to as “industrial agriculture.”
