Fish kill linked to manure from dairy

A fish kill in northeast Iowa last week has reportedly been linked to surface-applied manure from a dairy.

According to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, surface-applied manure on a partially frozen 40-acre field resulted in runoff that killed more than 2,000 fish in an unnamed stream.
