But hey, let's keep dumping metric tons of fertilizers on the fields and keep ignoring the fact that insane amounts of phosphates are draining into Lake Erie from the rivers flowing through NW Ohio / SE Michigan / NE Indiana (which are all going through nothing but mile after mile of corn farms for the most part).

We actually have a very similar issue year after year about 100 miles south in a mud hole called Grand Lake Saint Mary's. Shallow water + farm runoff + warm temperatures = blue-green algae blooms. Yet nobody will begin to address a root cause.

People try, but every time any sort of farm reform is proposed they always get shot down with cries of "keep America farming", and "save the small farmers".

You are exactly right. I see it all the time where I live (prime corn farming country). You can't fight Monsanto and the farming lobby at the same time.
 
These things are bound to happen when you use a water source full of fish semen and fish sh*t. :whiste:
I bet they don't filter that out either. 😵
