Jeanne Gramstorff was a farmer and banker in the north Panhandle town of Farnsworth, Texas, who helped organize and operate the non-profit group, ACCORD (Active Citizens Concerned Over Resource Development). ACCORD worked to improve operations among the region’s confined feeding operations (CAFOs), chiefly hog facilities. Mrs. Gramstorff and other ACCORD members were concerned about wastewater runoff, aquifer contamination, nuisance-level odors, increased flies, and airborne diseases emanating from these facilities.
