@MBousselot Iowa's fecal equivalent population (FEP) is 168 million, which means that the state produces as much fecal waste as that many people. This is due to Iowa's large livestock population, including pigs, cattle, turkeys, and chickens. Big Ag has ruined Iowa, now they want MN.

See this powerful review of “Dodge County, Incorporated.” Eayrs’ work “will likely be viewed in the future as a seminal work in documenting the causes and effects of corporation farming on life in rural America.” @BisonBooksUNP
