No serious advocate of action to protect the Bay from this source of harm wants to “put family farms out of business.” That is simply legislative trash talk that inflames what out to be a serious dialogue. Effective methods of mitigating agricultural pollution are available. Those who oppose them should offer a creative alternative instead of simplistic whining. Concern for the profits of very large agricultural firms such as Perdue, which tries to disguise itself as “family farms” should not trump protecting the endangered Chesapeake Bay, which is a resource for everyone – including farmers.

The bill was filed too late for consideration. Perhaps the sponsor will file it again this year. Anyone who reads this story should also read the following bill from the 2012 General Assembly:
