More corn but no fish?
An interesting article, Dead Serious, which discusses how "little progress has been made this decade in reducing the size of the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone, a massive area of oxygen-depleted water caused by agricultural and urban runoff."
The researchers identify corn crops as the worst offender and predicts even greater future problems due to increased demand for ethanol, a farm bill that subsidizes corn production and but not runoff mitigation practices by farmers, etc.
Thoughts?
