“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “New York State’s Agriculture Policy” Bumper sticker

New York State’s Agriculture Policy” Bumper sticker

When it comes to Agricultural Pollution; New York State isn’t doing the same old worthless things – they’re doing a new version of the same old worthless things. As our lakes and waterways become increasingly impaired; State authorities do a handshaking-dance with powerful Agribusiness interests in a dog-and-pony show of endless data-deflecting studies. Voluntary guidelines and regulations with less teeth than a Gummy Bear – stewarded by agriculture controlled committees with a no-fault/no-fine manure spill mandate.

Is anything changing? Yes, the pollution is getting worse — and the corruption is getting “grandfathered”.
