Thanks Industrialized agriculure-Des Moines Struggling With Nitrates in Water

[Wellstone ruled]

1. Irony has come home once again.

Years ago the University of Iowa and other Midwestern Universities were warning of the side effects of using high concentrations of Nitrates. Specifically the leeching effect and the contamination of ground water. The facts were well known in the 1960's especially in Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa where farmers were recommended not to use their own wells for human or livestock use due to the heavy contamination of Nitrogen and Chlorides. Now water is piped in from Eastern South Dakota Fenns via Public Private Rural Water Companies. Just another Government Bailout for those Rethug Farmers who hate the Bureaucrats.
