The Joplin Globe reported, Friday, November 14, 2008, that Tyler Swezey and Anthony Monteleone (students at Pittsburg State University) earned a first-place award from Collegiate Broadcasters Inc. for their documentary film on CAFOs. The film, "Everyone Lives Downstream" explores the concerns of some anglers and neighbors of the Cassville, MO state park who have filed a legal challenge against concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) located just a mile from the Roaring River State Park entrance. The Michelle & Rodney Ozbun CAFO houses about 65,000 chickens.
