Our vision was to create a “fact-versus-fiction” presentation about CAFOs/CFOs for watershed groups. Our hope is that it will help watershed groups better understand these confined feeding livestock farms, while assisting them to devise a strategy to bring them to the table when addressing watershed concerns

What lead us to this topic?
•CAFO/CFO operation is a major concern for watershed groups
•Location and increasing number of CAFOs/CFOs is a highly politicized, “hot” topic
•People tend to immediately “point fingers” at CAFOs/CFOs as a source of pollution
•Although citizens tend to be upset about CAFOs/CFOs, they may not understand how they operate or are regulated

Organizing our thoughtsWhat we don’t want…
• To pass off our opinion as fact
• To “pick a side” in the controversy
• To provide incorrect information
What we want…
• To provide information on CAFO/CFO operation
• To provide information of CAFO/CFO regulation
• To provide ways a watershed group can get involved in the discussion
• To assist in providing the facts so stakeholders are educated

Things to Consider
•There is SO much info out there, we can’t include it all!
•Reading the CAFO/CFO rule and other resources is important before presenting to
others!
•This presentation is a building block or template… watershed groups need to make it
there own!
Add slides
Add resources
This is just a beginning!
•Our presentation and fact sheet are not static… they need to be updated as rules
change and new technology created.
