Comments on: House Advances Fertilizer Bill http://www.northescambia.com/2011/03/house-advances-fertilizer-bill Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 10 Apr 2026 15:38:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2011/03/house-advances-fertilizer-bill/comment-page-1#comment-80045 David Huie Green Thu, 24 Mar 2011 16:27:38 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=48895#comment-80045 REGARDING: "The bill (HB 457) upsets many environmentalists who believe the state standard isn’t strict enough. Fertilizer often contains nitrogen and phosphorus, which can hurt water quality." You gotta love the thinking here. Fertilizer contains nutrients which make plants grow either in the field or in the water. If you could eliminate the nutrients, they wouldn't degrade water quality by making algae grow when they got in the lakes and streams. Of course, they also wouldn't make crops grow if non-fertilizing “fertilizer” were put in the field. For that matter, why would a farmer put “fertilizer” on fields if they didn't increase the fertility of the fields? David for empty fields, pockets, plates and bellies REGARDING:

YEA RIGHT! Republicans are the last real hope for individual liberty in this country. The nanny state policies that put ethanol in our gasoline, mercury in our lightbulbs, and would limit use of federally approved chemicals in our yards HAS GOT TO STOP. Down with the nanny state!
