The Wood County Citizens Opposed to Factory Farms (WCCOFF) is a grassroots level, non-profit organization whose board and supporters seek a moratorium on Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) until their implications for human health and environmental safety can be thoroughly studied and the well-being of our citizens duly guaranteed. Our mission is to educate the citizens of Wood County about the dangers of factory farms. WCCOFF supports sustainable agricultural systems that are environmentally safe, economically viable, and socially just. CAFOs emphasize high volume and profit with little regard for their effects on the environment, human health, and the rural economy.
