Meeting Public Comments

Ann Bokelman

None of our party platforms think eminent domain for a CO2 pipelineis a good idea for the state of Iowa. Neither South Dakota nor Minnesota even allow it.Are our legislators smarter than theirs or have they just been given more money by those who stand to gain billions while we lose control of our own farm land. Vote to STOP this travesty.Sincerely,Ann BokelmanHanlontown, IA

Dawn Thompson

Please protect our life,liberty and pursuit of happiness. Please vote to stop eminent domain for carbon pipelines.

Kay Kingley

Vote for property owners, land owners. vote for this bill as it lets the ones that say no, say no. there should be no eminent domain for any reason on property owners when it is a private company, It is time to stop this pipeline. it goes no where, it is a made of thing. and only pads the pockets of a company.

Raymond Stockdale

I served in the military to defend my country. Iam a third generation farmer on our Century Farm. My son has now joined the operation. Little did I realize that I would now be having to fight to protect my private property rights here in Iowa!Please vote yes on HF 2104. Summit has the ability to ask the IUC for permission to expand their corridor,we do not need a new bill.Support our constitution and protect private property rights.

Todd Hocraffer

Please vote YES on HF2104. It is simple and to the point. Does not prevent construction, it gives landowners the voice to be heard and allows 'NO to mean NO' again. Protect the rights of the families who built this state.

Leila Christensen

Please vote for HF 2104. My family land is on the route and we would love to be able to say no thank you to eminent domain. Our land is not for sale. Summit can search for a route that has voluntary easements to build their pipeline. Summit has not been very forthcoming with the truth and facts and have treated landowners unfairly.

Romona Ritter

Vote yes on HF 2104.Landowners should be free to exercise our own best judgement about hosting or not hosting a CO2 Pipeline.

Beverly McGriff

Please vote Yes on HF 2104! This bill will not stop the CO2 pipeline , but it will allow landowners caught in whatever size corridor to say, No Thank You to a CO2 pipeline on their property as the Iowa constitution and both party platforms support. The governor wanted a short clean bill. HF2104 meets that standard. Farmers have no assurances of higher prices for corn as the 45q tax credit is a credit for ethanol plants. There has been no evidence of how much or if any of that savings would be passed on to corn producers. The ethanol from a plant with a carbon pipeline is no different from a plant without one. The only difference is the availability of the $85/ ton tax subsidy from taxes paid to the Federal Government which will line the pockets of billionaires. Allow landowners to say NO to this scam by Voting YES on HF2104!

Sandy Wilson [Citizen Engagement]

Citizen Engagement declares IN FAVOR of HF 2104. Please move the bill.

Margaret Rosman

No Eminent DomainPlease vote YES for HF2104, our Property Rights Protection Bill. Our family farm, a century farm, is in the proposed path of Summits phase 1 Carbon Capture hazardous pipeline plans. We are located in Shelby County with affected land directly adjacent to US44, north and south side. The proposed route will completely bisect our property. I am now living in the house I grew up injust over the hill from the proposed hazardous pipeline route. My siblings and I feel it is our right to decide what we do with our propertythat a private company for private gain should not be allowed to wrest that away from us. Let them find a route with landowners who choose to have the hazardous pipeline on their property if its such a great project. We passThanks!Margaret Rosman(and siblings)Iowa votersVOTE YES FOR HF2104

Betsy Fickel

A very simple, straight forward, easy to understand, constitutionally sound bill. Hope the good senators remember their oath of office to support the constitutions in which the protection of property rights is included. This bill simply states no means no and yes means yes and the free will to choose. A definite do pass to protect people's property rights.

Heather Gardner

Please vote YES for HF2104, our Property Rights Protection Bill. This bill is clean and simple. You dont even have to oppose carbon pipeline to respect private property rights. Those bill does just that. Summit knows Iowa doesn't want this pipeline and everyone can tell by the fact that they are opposing the bill so stongly. Are the rights of Iowans for sale? Because this bill says they are not and that Iowa puts their citizens freedom and choices first. Either you support the people of Iowa or you support the highest bidder.

Cheryl Hogberg

A YES vote to HF2104 gives all affected property owners the right to say YES or NO (their choice) & that is a final answer.A YES vote for HF2104 does NOT stop the pipeline. It does make the playing field even.At least 80% of Iowans are against the use of Eminent Domain for this project that should be your sign!Cheryl HogbergSent from my iPhone

Tony Schiltz

Please support the property rights of Iowa's farmers against the use of eminent domain for carbon pipelines. This is not a public utility and eminent domain should not be allowed for private enterprises.

Dirk Lindner

Legislators asked for a clean bill on eminent domain. HF2104 is a clean bill. It protects landowner property rights and still allows a pipeline to be built. This is a winwin situation. Vote yes on HF2104. Dirk Lindner, affected Montgomery County landowner.

David Clark

We are landowners in Worth County and one of our farms will be affected by Summits pipeline. We bought this farm in 1980 right before the beginning of the 80s farm crisis and worked 30 years to pay for it. We have invested thousands of dollars to pattern tile it and have been good stewards of the land which has resulted in making it a highly productive farm. All of our corn is marketed through local ethanol plants and we have a large investment in ethanol plants. The ethanol plants were profitable again in 2025 and set records for weekly corn usage in 2025. There are other means available to the ethanol plants to reduce their carbon index score to make them eligible for 45Z tax credits without the use of a pipeline. By supporting HF2104 which will eliminate the use of eminent domain for CO2 pipelines, this will not prevent Summit from going forward with their project by obtaining voluntary easements.Our farming operation generates jobs in manufacturing equipment, chemicals and fertilizer, seed, and grain processing, as well as seasonal employees in our operation.Should pipelines that transport CO2 to other states for the primary purpose of profiting pipeline investors be given the extreme power of eminent domain? We should not have to negotiate our Constitutional rights. We feel that we should have the right to say no to Summit just as our neighbors have the right to say yes. By allowing the use of eminent domain for carbon oxide pipelines, we do not have that right.We would appreciate your support for HF2104 which will protect our property rights.Thank you for your consideration.Dave & Kay Clark

DONALD JOHANNSEN [Personal]

My name is Don Johannsen and I am a phase 1 landowner from Cherokee county. I am deeply concerned about the Summit carbon pipeline and the use of eminent domain. While proponents highlight benefits to the state and local governments, the voices of those most affectedlandownersare often overlooked. Per the exhibit F form submitted to the IUC, Summit expects to capture nearly 30 million tonnes of CO annually, earning $85/ tonne in 45Q tax credits and $105/ tonne in carbon credit resulting in a total of $5.7 billion dollars per year. Over the 1072 mile length of pipeline in Iowa this translates to an income of $1,000 per foot of pipeline each year. How much of this will I as a landowner receive in compensation?I will receive compensation in two forms, the initial purchase price of the easement and the yearly incentive payment proposed by Summit.For the easement Summit has offered me a onetime payment of $35,200 for the easement and three years of crop loss. For the incentive, Cherokee County at an 80% voluntary sign up rate would result in an incentive payment of $0.31/ foot. For the 1477 foot length of my easement this would result in yearly payments of $460.Combining these values over a 30 year period (the expected life of the pipeline) would result in a total payment to me of $49,000, the equivalent of $1.10 per foot per year.For comparison:Summit will make $1000/ foot on my 1477 foot easement; I will be paid $1.10/ foot.Over the length of my easement Summit will make $1.5 million per year, I will be paid $1,600.Over a 30 year period Summit will make $45 million, I will be paid a total of $49,000.What rational landowner would ever sign such an unfair one sided agreement only to end up with a hazardous pipeline crossing through the heart of my farm at odd angles?Summit has claimed it cannot obtain a corridor without eminent domain. This has been proven to be false. Tallgrass obtained a corridor in Nebraska without eminent domain and Summit has obtained a corridor in Minnesota without eminent domain. A comparison of the route Summit proposed in Minnesota versus the final route is telling. The proposed route was a straight diagonal line crossing southern Minnesota going through farms at odd angles. The final negotiated route contains large lengths of north/ south and east/ west segments. This is important because this allows farmers to place the pipe along the fence line adjacent to the road. This provides the access to the pipeline that Summit needs, it does not cross through tile fields or over terraces, it provides rectangular fields that can accommodate large farm equipment and most importantly, it eliminates the need for farmers to farm over the pipe. It provides a workable solution for both Summit and the Landowner.In the fall of 2023 150 landowners testified at the IUC hearing in Fort Dodge. As part of our testimony we were required to suggest an alternate route which we all did. The changes requested would have added only a few hundred feet to the route but Summit rejected all but a handful of the 150 requests. With the proposed 10 mile corridor are we to believe that Summit will now be willing reroute over a 10 mile distance when they have repeatedly rejected requests for only a few hundred feet? Summit has proven they will never do this.Summit has had 4 years to behave as a responsible partner with landowners and has repeatedly refused to do so. As long as Summit has the right of eminent domain they will never offer fair compensation or reasonable routing to landowners. Their actions over the last four years is proof of that,If they want to build pipelines that is fine, HF2104 does not prohibit carbon pipelines, it just requires pipeline companies to offer landowners fair and just compensation and the ability to negotiate workable routing.HF2104 provides landowners with the protection they need.I would urge the senate to support passage of HF2104.Don Johannsen

Andy Corcoran

I strongly support bill HF 2104

Debra Freeman, retired RN, LBSW [Landowner of Heritage Farm, retired RN, retired LBSW, mother, grandmother, wife.]

Kim Reynolds asked for a clean bill HF2104 Is a bill to Protect Property Rights for Iowa landowners. HF2104 does not stop a pipeline from being built, it simply says no Eminent Domain is to be used.Voting Yes for HF2104 to Protect Property Rights in Iowa will become your legacy!

Denise Smith

I am a Page County landowner. Please vote YES for HF2104. Please support property rights. A Yes vote does not stop the pipeline. Legislators asked for a clean bill. HF2104 is a clean bill. Vote YES for HF2104. Thank you.

Debra Freeman

Those of you concerned about Union Jobs;How many Iowa employees are part of a Union contracted with Summit CS?Again HR2104 does not stop the construction of the Hazardous CO2 pipeline, this bill gives landowners the right to say yes or no about a pipeline on their land.With a 'YES" vote Your LEGACY will become 'Protecting Property Rights in Iowa for Iowans'!Thank you.

Kathy Carter

Remember May 2025: During floor debate, certain Senators tore apart HF639, saying there were "too many parts" and there was simply too much in it. Remember June 2025, when the Governor vetoed HF639, stating she wanted "a clean bill." Well, THIS IS IT. One simple, clean bill and its sole mission is to stop the MISUSE of eminent domain for carbon oxide pipelines. Why should my repeated "NO" mean any less than a neighbor's "voluntary" signature? Why do MY property rights protections get swept away? Vote YES on HF2104. Protect ALL Iowans' rights to make property decisions.

Kerry King

This bill supports private property rights for those that want to say no, and those that want to say yes, everyone's right to choose. This bill will not stop a company from building a pipeline. This bill will allow true and equal discussion between landowners and the company without threating actions. Each Iowan should have the right to choose what is best for their property not to be forced into bending to someone else's will.

Deb Lavalle

Please stand on the right side of history by advancing HF2104. No eminent domain for carbon pipelines must be part of legislation if you truly want Iowa landowners like myself to have the right to sign or not to sign an easement without duress and intimidation. Not to advance HF2104 silences the debate for a true democratic process in Iowa.

Austin Palmquist

I'm a 6th generation Iowa farmer. This committee needs to support this bill, eminent domain is not fitting for a private project by a private company for private gain,eminent domain in a situation such as that is absolutely unconstitutional.If any business transaction is to take place ever,it has to be 100% negotiation between two parties. That also includes the Godgiven right of saying no by one's own discernment.Eminent domain for economic development is very unconstitutional and unethical.

Lucy Gadsby

Please pass HF 2104 out of subcommittee. Farming is a top business in Iowa. Protection of private property is important for a healthy Iowan economy. Farms employ many people in Iowa, while CO2 pipeline Union jobs will most likely go to people who come from outofstate and are not contributing significantly to Iowa's economy. HF 2104 is a "clean" and "simple" bill so there's no reason to not pass it out of subcommittee. It fulfills requests made by several Senators and the Governor when they worked against a previous property rights protective bill last year, so again, please do what's right and pass HF 2104.

Nelva Huitink

My husband and I are landowners in Sioux County that will be effected by the carbon pipeline. We ask that you vote yes for HF 2104. This is a clean bill that protects our property rights but does not prevent the construction of the pipeline.

Bonnie Ewoldt

HF2104 simply states that the power of eminent domain cannot be used to acquire land to construct carbon oxide pipelines. HF2104 does not ban the construction of CO2 pipelines in Iowa. Private companies can build their pipelines by obtaining voluntary easements. If the project is as great as Summit claims, it should have no problem getting 100% voluntary easements,

Cindy Kruthoff

Please advance HF2104. Governor Reynolds requested a clean bill and it doesn't get cleaner than this. This bill is a win win for both land owners and Summit. Land owners will have their property rights upheld and Summit can build their pipeline with voluntary easements. They have proven this is possible by routing the MN Summit line completely with voluntary easements. Please advance the bill for NO eminent domain for carbon oxide pipelines.

Julie Goebel

In the 1890s, my greatgrandfather and his brother each purchased 80 acres of land. Through grit and determination, my grandparents preserved that legacy during the Great Depression. They expanded the farm and weathered decades of floods and droughts. Later, my mother and aunt took up the mantle, navigating the farm crisis of the 1980s and successfully defeating the Rock Island Clean Linea project that threatened our land while offering nothing to our community.Today, we face a new and more insidious threat. A private for profit company intends to cut through the heart of our property, destroying the drainage tile systems we have spent years meticulously building. Their goal is clear: to capture government subsidies and sell CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery to benefit the oil and gas industry.Landowners deserve a voice. We are not just protecting property; we are protecting a multigenerational legacy from eminent domain abuse. I urge you to move HF 2104 forward so that the counties most impacted by this project can protect their landowners and their soil.Thank you, Julie Goebel

Linda Graham

I respectfully ask you to vote yes on bill HP2104. This bill does not stop the construction of CO2 pipelines. This bill does give a private property owner the right to say yes to hosting a CO2 pipeline on their property, or say no, thank you, without the threat of eminent domain. This bill allows me or any landowners to make the choices that best fit their property and business model, without the concern of eminent domain. Thank you.

lance kleckner

Please keep moving the bill HF 2104 through the senate, so that it can be passed. Iowans want their property rights protected.

Doreen Jessen

Support HF2104Protect the Property Rights of Landowners,whether in rural areas or our cities & towns. Support No Eminent Domain for Private Gain or Profit.VOTE 'YES'

Deborah Main

The bill sent to the Senate last year, was criticized as being too complicated and having unintended consequences. We now have three bills before us. One has pages of text and outlines a plethora of rules and regulations. Another legislates charging fees, but fails to outline the details of monitoring and oversight. A third consists of only one sentence satisfying the mandate of a "clean bill". HF2104 meets the requirements set forth by Governor Reynolds allowing a project to move forward while maintaining the property rights of Iowa landowners. HF2104 is a win for all concerned. Vote YES.

Dale Mennenga

I respectfully ask you to vote yes on bill HP2104. This bill does not stop the construction of CO2 pipelines. This bill does give a private property owner the right to say yes to hosting a CO2 pipeline on their property, or say no, thank you, without the threat of eminent domain. This bill allows me or any landowners to make the choices that best fit their property and business model, without the concern of eminent domain. Thank you.

Pat Mennenga

The new legislative session at the state capitol began January 12, 2026. You would think there would be so many new issues brought forth. But, for land owners, we are still fighting for our property rights. It has been 5 years now since we received our first packet from Navigator, Heartland Greenway notifying us of their intention of burying a hazardous CO2 pipeline through 120 acres of our home farm. How can this be when our federal and state constitutions protect us from eminent domain for private gain?On January 21st, the House of Representatives passed HF 2104 stating, No Eminent Domain for Carbon Dioxide pipelines. We fully support this bill. This is the same bill that South Dakota passed in March of 2025. It does not ban CO2 pipelines. SCS just has to acquire 100% voluntary easements. HF2104 has been expedited to the senate. We absolutely support this bill. So called farmer groups such as Iowa Farmers Union and Iowa Farm Bureau Federation have taken a stand protecting farmers against eminent domain by carbon pipelines. The Iowa Corn Growers Association is promoting CCS. The primary reason is to increase the profitability and demand for corn and reduce the carbon intensity of ethanol. They will not protect the farmers land and/or legacy. What I find interesting is the company behind constructing the CO2 pipelines in Iowa and the Midwest is also the same company in South America who is one of our biggest competitors of ethanol production. Summit Agricultural Group bought land and began growing corn in Brazil in 2012. Raising corn in Brazil is favorable due to longer growing seasons, optimal climate and the ability to double crop. Summit Agriculture Group opened their first corn based ethanol plant in 2017. Today, summit produces 600 million gallons annually. Compare to Iowa ethanol production of 4.7 billion gallons annually. Our corn markets and ethanol markets are driven by supply and demand. As Iowa companies produce corn and ethanol in Brazil, that decreases our demand in iowa and the world. Corn production in Brazil is approximately 1/3 of the US production. I am not willing to give up my land to help Summit Agriculture Group promote their monopoly. Sincerely dependent on our heritage,Pat Mennenga Clarksville, Iowa

Follow the Lead of the Voluntary Nutrient Reduction Strategy!Since 2010, Iowa has faced a significant agricultural challenge: how to effectively reduce nutrient loads in our water. In May 2013, we launched the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy (NRS)a voluntary framework designed to address this challenge headon.According to the Iowa Nutrient Research & Education Council (NREC), our voluntary strategy has become a national model. Iowa is now recognized for its leadership in using a nonregulatory approach to protect both our local waters and the Gulf of Mexico. The process has been so successful that the Iowa Legislature codified the NRS in 2018 as the Official State Policy (via Senate File 512).Why is the NRS voluntary?The NREC emphasizes that a voluntary approach encourages widespread adoption by fostering collaboration and flexibility. It recognizes a fundamental truth in farming: one size does not fit all. Rather than imposing rigid mandates and penalties, the NRS empowers farmers and landowners to decide which practices are best for their specific acres. I have seen the value of this firsthand, as I now use NRS strategies on my own farms.The New Challenge: CO2 PipelinesToday, we face a similar crossroads in Iowa agriculture. We must decide our path:1.Do we encourage the widespread adoption of Voluntary Easements?2.Or do we mandate the use of Eminent Domain?Iowa can lead once again. By prioritizing voluntary easements for CO2 pipeline projects, we respect the rights of the people who steward the land. HF2104 champions this idea by preventing the mandate of Eminent Domain, ensuring that collaborationnot coercionis the standard.Follow A Proven Path ForwardIf there is any doubt about the success of a voluntary process, we should look to the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy as our proof of concept. To ensure success for pipelines, we could even expand the "Notification Corridors" proposed in Senator Klimeshs SF2067 to further facilitate a 100% voluntary easement process.A voluntary approach can be a major "Win" for Iowa Agriculture, just as the NRS has been for over a decade. Lets trust Iowas landowners to make the best decisions for their land.Thank you for your time and your commitment to Iowa agriculture!Barbara HenningImpacted landowner and farmer in Greene County

Meghan Sloma

Please vote to pass HF2104 out of subcommittee today. It is a win/win! It allows landowners to say Yes or No to what happens on their land (a huge protection of property rights) while at the same time does nothing to prohibit construction of a CO2 pipeline (or any other pipeline) in Iowa.Look at the larger picture as well. Family farms have long been, and long will be, extremely important to Iowas economy. They must be able to make plans and decisions regarding what is best for their particular situation. With the threat of Eminent Domain hanging over their head, landowners cannot freely make a decision and their growth and stability is negatively impacted.

Julie Johnson [Family-run farm Pocahontas County]

We keep hearing that the passage of a no eminent domain law in Iowa would discourage economic development in the state. Legislators and the Governor seem to forget that FARMING IS WHAT DRIVES THE ECONOMY in this state. Familyrun farmsnot corporationsstill are the majority in Iowa. Familyrun farms mean investment in land, machinery, chemicals, hired help, and yes, research and development. You should know, farming is a very stressful BUSINESS, with worldwide markets (and tariffs) and the weather out of our control. So how about encouraging young (and notsoyoung) farmers to continue investing in Iowa? Put no eminent domain IN OUR CONTROL. PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR LAND; REMOVE THE THREAT OF EMINENT DOMAIN! Its that simple. Leave HF2104 as it is, and vote YES to move it out of the Commerce Subcommittee.

Nancy Erickson

Please vote YES on HF2104. My husband served in the military where he took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. He never thought that starting in August of 2021 he would spend the next 4.5 years defending the Constitution again. Members of the Iowa General Assembly are required to take an oath before assuming their duties. The oath mandates that they swear or affirm to support both the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Iowa. All I am asking you to do is vote to vote Yes to uphold your oath.

Jamie Moser

As a landowner Im asking you to please pass HF2104 Over 80% of Iowa is opposed to eminent domain for private gain. After five years its time to side with the landowners

Steve Kenkel

Legislators take an oath to uphold the constitutional rights for all Iowans. HF 2104 EXEMPLIFIES the oath you sworn to protect, the landowners right to say yes or no to any business deal partaking upon their land. Iowans will be watching how you value your oath and the legislation before you. Thank you!

Joan Gaul

Please pass HF 2104. This bill will protect the property rights of us pipelineaffected landowners. Enlarging the corridors will only make things worse for the landowners who do not want a pipeline on their land. We have asked for a bill to protect our property rights from private companies who wish to use eminent domain for their own profits for over 5 years. These pipelines are not for public use or public convenience. Please remember our US Constitutional rights and our State Constitutional rights as landowners in the State of Iowa.Not only will these pipelines take away our ownership of land they will threaten our water supplies. It is estimated that 13 billion gallons of water/year would be used by the ethanol plants. Do we want to drain our acquifers for private companies?Thank you.Joan E. GaulSummit pipelineaffected landowner Johnston, IA

Joan Gaul

Please vote yes on HF 2104 to move it out of the Commerce Subcommittee.Please do not change this bill. It states in a clear way, that eminent domain is not to be used for carbon dioxide pipelines.Thank you.Joan Gaul,Summit pipelineaffected landowner for 5 yearsJohnston,IA.

LeAnne Blanchard

Please vote Yes on HF2104. Please protect my private property rights. Please remind your colleagues: The pipeline now operating in Nebraska was accomplished with no eminent domain. The routes approved in Minnesota were determined using no eminent domain. The pipeline can be done without eminent domain. The principles of our constitution should not be compromised for anyone.

Patty and Craig Beyer

A carbon dioxide pipeline carries a lethal, odorless asphyxiant that is vastly different from traditional oil or gas; in this case, proximity is everything. It is important to note that a landowner with no family or neighbors living near the proposed Summit CO2 pipeline route has a very different perspective than those of us obligated to consider the welfare of families living next tooften within mere hundreds of feeta CO2 line proposed for our property. We feel a deep responsibility for these people, who were allowed no say in this process and whose safety is now being compromised.We pleaded with Summit and the IUC to adjust the route to protect these households, but our requests were ignored. This is why HF 2104 is so vital: it gives us the power to protect our families and neighbors when corporations and state agencies refuse to do so.Forcing a hazardous pipeline next to a family home against the owners will is not innovation; it is a violation of the property rights that define our state. As our last line of defense, we urge you to vote "yes" on HF 2104 and fulfill your duty to prioritize the safety and rights of Iowa families.Patty and Craig BeyerCherokee/Ida County landowners

Please see attached. This legislative body is or should be aware that three wells have been established in Webster County near Vincent, Iowa. The first was established in 2022. It is my understanding that they are near Vincent, which is near the Summit Carbon pipeline route. They are named Van Diest 143, Van Diest 143A, and Van Diest 90272322 according to Noah Poppelreiter of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. I do not know if this is his property, but a Robert Van Diest testified at the Summit Carbon hearings held in Fort Dodge in 2023. In 2024, this legislative body secretly amended Iowa Code chapter 458A, which includes forced pooling statutes (458A.8), to include naturally occurring gas, which includes CO2 produced from corn fermentation. The attachment explains more. If you vote to deny eminent domain protections when some members of the legislature have actively campaigned that this action will protect Iowans from seizure of their property without just compensation determined by a jury and will give them the opportunity to say no, then I believe you will be deceiving the masses, and that it will materially harm them. If these wells will be used to inject CO2 underground to potentially create hydrogen and other forms of fuel in Iowa and potentially mine for critical minerals and forced pooling statutes are employed, then all of the language in Senate File 2069 is meaningless and grossly misleading, because the Iowa Utilities Commission does not oversee the forced pooling statutes. In my opinion, the same thing is happening in South Dakota. If you pass this bill, and others currently at play, in my opinion, you are violating your oath to uphold the Iowa and U.S. Constitutions. Summit Carbon Solutions will be heavily funded by the government. Much of its proposed activities have been heavily funded by the government. The first article I wrote about this in 2023 documented a plane owned by Summit Ag making regular flights in Alaska. I believe this is a federally funded and supported project.
