Prairie Rivers Network, Illinois Citizens for Clean Air & Water, and Environment Illinois have created a new IL Factory Farm Factsheet. Also known as CAFOs, factory farms can pose a number of risks to the streams and lakes of Illinois. Please see the factsheet for more information, including solutions that citizens can implement to make a difference.
