@EmmaJanePettit Guilty of conveying too many dangerous facts, no doubt. I just ordered Jones' new book, "The Swine Republic: Struggles with the Truth about Agriculture and Water Quality" Thank you for reporting this

@EmmaJanePettit @altusda I used to live in Des Moines. It was common in the spring to have advisories not to use tap water to mix baby formula due to high nitrates. Nitrites? One of those. It was fertilizer runoff.
