The tussle is over how much the state should regulate runoff from farms that pollutes the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries

Dump it out in the desert somewhere it don't rain much.
We can't put it on the fields, as it's natural fertilizer and large corporations don't make money... so let's make up some crap and get the hippies on our side. It's so much better to use an artificial, chemical based fertilizer!! Forget the fact that it's carried into the bay faster than manure... we've got lobby money to get.
I believe there's a lot more manure coming from the EPA and all it's little epa's compared to chickens.
take down the EPA NOW.
