Board forwards manure-management report for Indigo Family Farms (Ashley’s Farm) to Iowa DNR

The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors voted on Sept. 28, 2026, to approve reports from the Environmental Health Service Manager concerning a manure management plan update for Indigo Family Farms (Ashley’s Farm) and to forward those reports to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The motion was made by Supervisor Chris Watts and seconded by Vice Chairman Carl Ginapp; the minutes record the motion passed unanimously.

The meeting record identifies the Environmental Health Service Manager as the staff member presenting the reports but does not provide the manager’s name or the substantive details of the manure management plan in the excerpt. The forwarding of the reports to the state DNR places the plan into the DNR’s review process; the county minutes do not indicate further local action at this meeting.
