Larry again captured the utter resistance of Supreme Beef to assume any responsibility, short or long term for its impact on humans and the environment. Iowans owe multiple debts of gratitude to Larry, Steve Veysey, Jim Larew, Chris Jones and others.
Thanks Larry, for continuing the fight, for clean water and for the trout in beautiful Bloody Run. Why anyone would risk the possibility of contaminating that water and the drinking water of those homeowners nearby absolutely boggles the mind. I am disheartened by the DNR's position that it is absolved of responsibility and the legislature's continued disregard of this important issue. Keep up the righteous fight, Larry.
Larry you have worked hard over the years as a defender of Clayton County and Iowa. I hope that others will understand the significance of your advocacy. It's hard to click on the heart like button - I do not like the behavior that you expose in this substack.
Thanks for this post. I've got a question not directly related to the issue of irresponsible CAFOs...
Do you know the origin of the name Bloody Run? I'm asking because there's a "Blood Run" creek in northwest IA, in Lyon County. There's an interesting symmetry. You've got the Effigy Mounds National Monument overlooking the Mississippi Valley near Bloody Run and we've got the mound complex in the Blood Run National Historic Landmark overlooking the Big Sioux River valley. Thanks for any help you can give on the source of the name Bloody Run.
Lt. Martin Scott, who was stationed at Ft. Crawford (Prairie du Chien) from 1821-1826, was also an avid hunter, and sometimes said "I'm going to make the blood run" when he went to his favorite hunting area in what is now the Bloody Run Creek Valley. I've also been to the Blood Run area in NW Iowa. Fascinating history as well.
