Nutrient management regulation is here with the finalization of rules in Florida. Unfortunately I can't find anything on how the proposed water quality standards will be implemented. It is difficult to tell what kind of hardship might be created. FLORIDA WATER QUALITY STANDARDS
Another article in Agrinews talks about a group targeting Ag pollution in Illinois. Ag related pollution I used to believe we could hold off regulations by good stewardship practices, but it looks like regulation is in our future. A TMDL study is currently underway on the Illinois River. This study could result in Florida-like standards in Illinois too.
