After discussing all of the problems surrounding CAFOs and GMO's, I found this article interesting because it dealt with the farming community. While this did not get much attention, it is a huge step in the right direction towards solving a big problem with farming pollutants, more specifically, the nitrogen and phosphorous that pollute the waterways. These waterways that are only a couple miles away from the farms are suffering from too much nutrition. The USDA is setting up a plan of alternative ways for farmers to fertilize their fields without harming the waterways, and these will be enforced by suspension of certain government funding.
