“…The statistical model for lake visitation is then applied alongside models from the literature (Sneeringer, 2009;Isakson & Ecker, 2008) for the relationship between hog production emissions and infant mortality and the relationship between hog production emissions and residential home values to estimate the potential benefits of reducing hog production emissions in Iowa counties. The county-level birth rate data used to run the infant mortality model was obtained from the Iowa Department of Education.…”

“…This chapter estimates property value damage using the value of owner-occupied residential homes near AFOs, not including nonresidential buildings or rental units, with a hedonic model developed by Isakson & Ecker (2008) based on Black Hawk County, Iowa which relates the hog production rate at AFOs to nearby home values.…”

“…Property value effects are estimated using the relationship between hog operation proximity to homes and home value modeled by Isakson & Ecker, (2008) for Black Hawk County, Iowa to estimate the property value benefits from reducing ammonia emissions across the state. Isakson & Ecker did a spatial, hedonic regression on house sales, controlling for wind direction, selection bias, and spatial correlation as well as house characteristics.…”

“…Finally, the property value increase from a ten percent reduction in emissions was calculated according to Equation 5.4 for the aggregate herd affecting each tenth of the city or place area. Essentially, Equation 5.4 represents that for each tenth of the property value distributed over each Iowa city or census place area, the reduction in herd size within three or five miles of that tenth of the place area leads to an increase in property value according to the elasticities calculated by Isakson & Ecker (2008).…”

presenting the results. I would like to thank the rest of my committee, Debra Knopman and Fritz Raffensperger, for painstakingly pursuing the details of my research narrative and helping me revise my work. I would also like to thank my outside reader, Marc Ribaudo, for serving as my outside reader through his recent retirement from USDA ERS. I would like to thank all the policy administrators, Iowa University extension professors, and hog industry experts who replied to my emails and consented to be interviewed for my study. Without the information they shared, I would not have been able to proceed. I would also like to recognize the State Data Center of Iowa, the Iowa DNR, Iowa State University, and the Iowa Lakes Valuation Project for making so much data publicly available for researchers like me. I would like to recognize and thank my sister Diana for talking through my research design to help me write the last chapter. I must thank my parents, for their support and for helping me pay my rent, which has been essential to my staying sane and fed. I would also like to thank my RAND project leaders, friends and family for their understanding while I was working on writing full-time. This research was supported by generous funding from the John M. Cazier Dissertation Award in Sustainability, the Doris Dong Dissertation Award, and the Anne and James Rothenberg Dissertation Award. The Cazier Award supported my research through multiple years and was particularly essential to continuing this work, as no relevant RAND projects occurred on this topic. Finally, I would like to recognize the Pardee RAND Graduate school students, faculty, and administration for building a supportive community where each student learns that they can be successful following their interests.

“…Odors may also lead to health problems (Dalton et al, 2011). Odors from livestock facilities are so significant that they negatively affect home values (Palmquist et al, 1997;Isakson & Ecker, 2008). A study from Iowa found that there may be a 9% drop in property value if a moderately-sized livestock operation is located upwind and near a residence (Herriges et al, 2005).…”

Preemption of Local Governmental Ordinances Regulating Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations in the United States

Public discontent with practices accompanying the production of food animals has led to requests to increase governmental oversight of pollutants. In the United States, special attention has focused on animal waste disposal practices at concentrated animal feeding operations. Communities concerned with environmental quality want to enact local ordinances to regulate objectionable activities. Simultaneously, state legislatures also regulate these activities, and a state comprehensive regulatory system may preempt ordinances of local governments. An investigation of issues posed by livestock facilities shows that local governments should retain authority to enact local ordinances addressing negative externalities from livestock operations.
