As most of you know, there have been several threats to the Buffalo National River over the years. The most serious one was the construction of a large Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), a large hog factory (euphemistically called a "farm"). Working together, we forced the facility's removal from the watershed. A rulemaking proposal before the Administrative Rules subcommittee of the Arkansas Legislative Council includes a permanent moratorium on any future medium to large CAFOs in the watershed. The meeting and vote occur on November 14. Please add your voice to encourage the passage of the rule. The Bufalo River is a designated IBA!
