I am interested in any discussion regarding the proposed Code 65 changes that would allow AFOperations in karst topography. I live in an area high in karst terrain and don't agree with the idea that AFOs can be integrated into this topography. I currently test my well each year and get contaminated water reports even though my farm has not been cropped for 40 years. It's all in prairie grass. I am worried about groundwater contamination if AFOs are allowed in this region under this code revision. What can I do to find support for not allowing AFOs in the Driftless Region of the state?
