| JFAN is a nonprofit community organization composed of rural and town residents, and traditional family farmers. Our common concern is to stop the growth of CAFO Factories in Jefferson County and Protect our Quality of Life.
Already JFAN has started the following activities in Jefferson County: 1. A Community Legal Defense Fund – funded by residents like you and me - to help local residents and local farmers protect their legal rights. Please help by making a contribution and by volunteering! 2. A County-Wide Monitoring or “Neighborhood Watch” telephone hotline program is being formed. Until it is organized any new CAFO Factory construction, applications, or violations can be reported to Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement at 515-282-0484.Jefferson County residents start doing this NOW. 3. Community Educational Meetings designed to inform each resident about the risks associated with CAFO Factories. Our community is facing a very serious threat, and we need to Act Now before it is too late! It is vitally important that we all learn why this threat is huge and imminent and what we can do together to protect our personal reasons for living here. MISSION STATEMENT "JFAN is a grassroots organization whose role is to promote and protect the quality of life in Jefferson County, through education and proactive monitoring of Factory Farms (CAFO’s). JFAN strongly supports traditional sustainable agriculture and traditional family farms - including livestock production. JFAN – Farms not Factories!" |
