Well if your whole crop is ruined, it’s probably a better idea than to go bankrupt. I never said anything about accept money. I said our family would rather harvest the crop than take money. So quit arguing points that I didn’t make

Most trout streams in SW Wisconsin, many of which have gotten choked up due to pollution, don't go through cities.
All humans pollute but I can't get on board with 'it is what it is'-ness with making problems with drinking water.
Actually I could mathematically figure out pounds per acre but it's also not the same product that farmers use so a comparison isn't apples to apples.
You seem to have a very strong opinion on this so I'll just be done chatting with you about it.
Do the math then. I have no idea what products you are using but I’m sure setting 4.5 is exactly what the epa says to use
Just admit that you're pushing a hyperbolic notion as evidence. I'm posting articles, you're just being stubborn.
Do those things happen in Iowa, sure. Do they have anywhere near the impact that agriculture does, not even close. Common sense should tell you that based on percentage of land use in row crop agriculture in Iowa. But if you need it there are lots of studies to back it up. It's not even debatable.
Don't be myopic. I'm a carpenter ffs. You can read and educate yourself through civil discussion the same as me.
Well mine chiefly would be that farmers are fine with accepting public funds for their own needs, but the majority are not ok with helping to make cleaner waters for Iowa. Not even through simple means like bio reactors or adding marsh lands to buffer run off. Some do, but not many and now the public has to pay to clean the fertilizers out of the river and drill for fresh water.
I live in the WI Driftless and have not heard this. What county trout streams are you referring to?
The farm subsidy nonsense will stop when Iowa loses it's outsized importance in presidential elections.
Still looking for an intellectually honest justification for ethanol.
Umm, well I guess you're right. You didn't say ACCEPT, but despite your poor spelling, you most certainly did bring it up.
I’ve tested water coming out of my tile outlets and usually it comes back as being safe drinking water. The CRP and WRP have been very successful on sensitive acres for erosion and buffers.
