I saw that report yesterday but didn't take the time to read it until this morning.
How in the frick can they say hay is a pollutant??
Idiots at the helm.
I'd expect there is more to this story than has been presented, such as old hay lying in the storage area and the runoff contained a higher nutrient level than was allowed.
Still, R-Calf has gone to bed with urban folks and EPA in the past, now it's coming back to bite.

I think some Americans with an empty stomach might be good for them. It could happen too.

In Illinois it is a MAJOR no-no to let hay storage areas to drain into a waterway. Honestly compared to hogs, poultry, and dairy; the beef gets away with more b.s. I don't want more regulations, but I hate looking at people finishing cattle on hillsides. |
