Role Of
LANCASTER Cindy
Adams-Dunn, Pennsylvania coor
dinator for the Alliance for the
Chesapeake Bay, a non-profit
coalition of organizations working
to link citizens and groups with
the Bay effort, spoke at Hi-Score
Plant Food Company, Inc.’s Fall
Sales Meeting. She stated that fer
tilizer companies, in order to sur
vive, cannot ignore the changing
role of fertilizer. Farmers cannot
plant with manure alone, so there
will always be a need for some
form of commercial fertilizer. But,
the form of the fertilizer must
change to reduce the pollution and
toxicity of underground waters.
The federal government as well
as all state governments are taking
a closer look at the level of toxins
in runoff waters and also airborne
toxins. Many of the airborne tox
ins arc from the aerial spraying of
pesticides. Research in toxins is
behind that of nutrients.
Why should farmers be con
cerned? The Susquehanna River
provides half of all fresh water to
the Bay. One might say, the Bay is
really the lower end of the Susque
hanna. The dumping of too many
nutrients and toxins has caused a
decline in the oyster harvest,
created a moratorium on striped
bass (rockfish) and Bay grasses
have declined to almost the point
of disappearing. The grasses are
important as a molting place for
crabs.
Too many nutrients have contri
buted to the excess growth of
algae. As algae die, oxygen in the
water is depleted. Fish cannot live
without oxygen, resulting in fish
kills.
Farmers contribute too many
nutrients through runoff waters
from the fields into streams flow
