Delaware Friends of Agriculture Closer To Your Environment clear: if you put manure on land to simply meet the nitrogen demand of the crops, then you will be overapplying phosphorus, which contributes to bay pollution and may even, at high enough levels, be actually toxic to your crops. In the old days, a farmer grew just enough crops on the land to meet the feed demands of his animals. Now, the farmer has a lot of animals on a small amount of land, and the imported feed is contributing to the con cerns the federal government has about water pollution. In the old days, according to the VSDA representative, experts thought phosphorus was completely bound to the soil. That you could only have phosphorus problems if you had erosion. That’s not true anymore. Klein man and his colleagues have accumulated evidence that phosphorus moves with rainwater. A lot of phosphorus moved this year, the state’s rainiest year on record.
