Honest question
Do you farm or work in agriculture?
you probably believe everything those same "scientists" say about man made global warming. Er I mean climate change
The finger is NEVER pointed at non farm sources.
Over 50 separate federal police forces. Picking the least controversial one doesn’t make whatever your point is.
I'm 5th generation and put in 30 years.Honest answer. My family farmed for well over a century and I've done my share. I've also worked in the ag chemical field off and on over the last 35 years.
My comments on climate change research have been posted on the Hide a few times. I have done research in atmospheric chemistry that was funded by climate change money. I flew out of Veracruz during MIRAGE and was blown away by so many of the researchers talking about climate change research as a field that looked to be drying up. IIRC, there were 153 researchers on MIRAGE and I only heard one of them (a university prof from Mexico) preaching about global warming. Every conversation I had with PIs revolved around the need - literally - for about a million times higher data density in order to make a correlation. I realize this is heresy from the science side, because if you say that we don't have direct evidence, it might lead to cuts in funding.
Sure it is. Some of the links I posted talk about various contributing sources. The problem is that as municipalities have been working to clean up their shit, the farms have been using much more fertilizer.
Ok Rachel Maddow.I was only pointing out the ones that didnt exist before July 26, 1908. ?
I get bored easily, and come in here when i wanna be like Tucker Carlson.
If you do come from a farm background you are either stupid or just being a troll
Farmers are using using less fertilizer and less tillage.
you gotta provide a source of your info, could be the same crowd pushing global warming.
^ ok you really are retarded.
And more fertilizer use does not equal more n runoff.
Retard
Probably in academia or a nrcs type.

Nope there Al Gore I dont see any sources cited.
Should read:
"...consolidated and expanded as an industry while using less fertilizers and pesticides."
Interestingly, there are some surprising studies done on the effect of the human population's sewage containing active elements of prescription medications. I recall reading not too long ago that all the fish in the Shenandoah were on Prozac and it was effecting population numbers. I ain't been able to eat a thing out of that water for the last 20 years anyway.
You need a graph that shows yeild to NH# application rates...LOL.
That's hilarious. It's not hard to find real data that shows just how wrong you are.

Doesn't matter. All that extra fertilizer ends up in the gulfYou need a graph that shows yeild to NH# application rates...
Over the last 40 years should do.
BTW- Who do you work for?
R

You are assuming everyone affected has been on the job long enough to build up a proper savings. Did you get issued a savings account when you started a job? How long did it take you to build one up? How long could you go without a paycheck? How long till they repossess the single wide?
I'm not going to sit around while you tell all these lies that farms cause 99% of the waterway pollution.
well I think any data on nitrogen from 1880 is kind of a guess at best or an outright lie, ala Greenpeace al gore style.
I see application rates nothing on yield to coincide.If that's what you need to get your warm and fuzzy, go for it. That does not change the fertilizer runoff total load on the rivers. I said above that I understand the history of improving yields. I said also that American farmers are feeding more than their share and that there are other sources of N other than fertilizer. Deersniper's rant that started this off-topic sub-thread was not accurate regarding CSO's, so keep on ignoring the truth.

Jerry, you'll need to click on the link I'm pasting in below. Move your mouse over the next line and click.

Ok not 99%. Well call that the vast majority instead. Because farms are the only thing you lay much blame to. Everything else is inconsequential or "being well funded "Quit whining.
Golf course over-fertilization is a similar problem to crop over-fertilization - both are done to make money. Now go find the numbers - tons of fertilizer put on golf courses and compare that to crop fertilizer tonnage. Put that in perspective.
I don't even slightly discount dumping raw sewage. But I also know there have been well-funded programs across the US to reduce municipal raw sewage dumping. For decades... And it is working. LOL.
I'm not going to criticize the wildlife for shitting in the woods. I see lots of wildlife feces on dry ground, so that's not the same as shitting in the water directly.
My original reply on this topic was in response to your comment:
"Stop blaming farmers for water quality issues when from coast to coast, raw sewage is dumped in the tributaries every time there is a half inch or more of rain."
The tag to rain implies CSO and related raw sewage dumps along with old systems with leaks that leak more during hard rain. The point you seem to be missing is that farm over-fertilization is usually mentioned in civil-engineering publications as a primary source of N & P leading to hypoxia. All of these sources are real and contribute to the problem but it's not like we need to point the finger at CSOs and ignore the fertilizer.

BTW- in America we use many pounds per acre.
I see application rates nothing on yield to coincide.

Starting to lean towards the paid troll angle.
I'd like to recommend you take a rudimentary reading comprehension class or maybe just quote what I've said. But quit fabritrolling.
FIFY
I guess you need to learn to scroll.

You think the new data is bogus? Because that's where the problem is at - not back in 1880. If you think the new data is bogus, show me more accurate data or don't bother with your Al Gore bullshit. I detest that fucker.
stop with the anger, it shows you are unhinged a bit,, unhinged = Al Gore.... New Data from 1880 and from the world bank, yes I think its bogus.. But I am on your side. I think farmers need to take a break for a few years, no fertilizer use at all, will cause massive starvation and rid us of half the worlds population, maybe we wont need that fence. I think the country side families can grow their own food pretty well, we can starve our city populations to death... which is where most people who worry about how much fertilizer is being used live.... we can cure so so many problems just with the unintended consequences of your bullshit religion so quickly,,,,, go to the world bank and model some drout starvation models to see what half the food production disappearance result would be. I support your efforts here 100%. Let me know how I can help.
Anger? You're off 180 - I'm laughing. Where was your anger management message when I was being called a retard? This is hilarious - you lecturing on anger.
Y'all want to diss on the links I put up. How 'bout you man up and show me more credible data?
Sure, starve them out - sounds like a solid plan for the American farmer. I do like the radical population reduction plan though.
I know you dont need my help, but i don't want this thread to die. I want to make sure i have something to read tomorrow. Likely be a slow day.
he does need your help, he is getting picked on.
The bear pit is great for ones self esteem. It makes me feel arrogant and superior. ?
Your data set is convoluted to say the least.I'd like to recommend you take a rudimentary reading comprehension class or maybe just quote what I've said. But quit fabritrolling.

Duh. What leftist fucktard is not arrogant and feels superior in their own ignorance?The bear pit is great for ones self esteem. It makes me feel arrogant and superior. ?
The amazing part is that Qatar has any arable land. Who would have guessed. Sand is shitty soil.
Duh. What leftist fucktard is not arrogant and feels superior in their own ignorance?
I’m glad you feel superior though, because you would probably kill yourself if you stared reality in the face.
