‘It’s getting worse’ – U.S. failing to stem tide of harmful farm pollutants

Great article! It tells of the effect of farm nutrient pollutants on the Mississippi Basin and the subsequent cost to public health.

Goes on to discuss the types of changing farm practices, their effectiveness, along with the many obstacles faced by the farmers.

This is not a proper summary. Read the article. It touches us all.

“Thank you for sharing”. This article was sent to the LCWA by James Spychalla who is part of the local ‘producer-led watershed protection group’ from within Langlade’s agricultural community. Thankfully our local farmers are looking to “improve farming techniques” and “develop a set of best practices” in the area.
