Sarah Tebbe shares a
news article pertaining to agricultural runoff. That fits very well with the
discussions in the past about structural fixes (regulatory) to some of today's
wicked problems. The article is about a senate bill that is no silver bullet solution,
but in the long run this little sacrifice the Ag members make to apply for
fertilizer, will in turn be a positive benefit for the collective
interest.
It is in direct light
of reducing the amount if harmful algal blooms that are seen in our Great Lakes
and Grand Lake St. Mary's. This could also be considered an externality as well
as a structural fix. We may not be aware of the negative outcomes from this new
bill on the farmers economy, but as for the environmental issue, the runoff and
stormwater issue has become more pressing issue demanding community efforts and
cooperation to find a solution or set of solutions.
