 A farming co-op is responsible for killing 750,000 fish in Iowa and Missouri. 


NEW Cooperative Inc., located in Red Oak, Iowa contaminated a roughly 50 mile stretch of river the weekend of March 11th.


According to reports, a valve was left open on an above ground tank for storing liquid nitrogen fertilizer for the entire weekend. Due to this error, around 265,000 gallons of fertilizer poured into a drainage ditch and inevitably ended up in the East Nishnabotna River.


DNR fisheries documented the spill and the fish deaths along the contaminated section which ended where the Nishnabotna meets the Missouri River. As of March 28th they estimated 750,000 fish have died from acute toxicity.  They added that  Carp, Catfish and Bass were among the species most impacted.


Clean up efforts are still ongoing at this point and this incident rates as the 5th largest fish kill in the state of Iowa.
