Our Mission

SRWN promotes responsible agriculture and safeguards our rural areas in Wisconsin, as well as protecting our rural communities and watersheds from pollution and the impacts of industrial agriculture. Our coalition coordinates grassroots strategies to influence policy decisions at the local, regional, state, and national levels, focusing on the unique needs of Wisconsin rural areas.

Heartland Stories

Bi-partisan support of factory farms and factory farm gas is fueling massive new expansions in rural areas in Wisconsin. Global investors are eager to house thousands of cows, pigs, and turkeys, or millions of chickens in these rural WI settings. Their ¼-mile long barns produce millions of gallons of liquid waste and contribute to toxic air pollution, impacting Wisconsin rural areas. Thousands of trucks are dispatched to spread waste on every available piece of land. Hundreds of fans operate continuously to ensure the animals don’t suffocate. SRWN connects communities in rural Wisconsin resisting this unregulated industrial juggernaut.
