The war over Chesapeake Bay

[blackjedii]

LANCASTER, Pa. - Linn Moedinger's farm has been in his family for 10 generations, dating back to 1711, 150 acres of rich fields and meandering streams nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. As long as the family has owned it, it’s been a working farm; today Moedinger leases the fields to a neighbor who grows corn, wheat and soybeans.

It's so fucking incredible that people can see 'poisoned water' and 'toxic dirt' and go 'fuck you, you will not clean this up!!!'

It's beyond baffling.

I'm glad they're doing something but they need to do more or in a few years there will be nothing left.

I grew up in MD and the Bay was always talked about in classes & I remember taking so many field trips about it and planting SAVs to help clean the water and depositing oysters in the water ... it's really a shame how bad the water is :(

I hope somehow it gets cleaned up -- it's definitely going to be an uphill battle.

And agricultural groups need to learn to give in!

i live in the mountains but have family in richmond / Northern Neck and every year I'm like "when the end comes I'll be on high ground unlike the rest of y'all"

except they're trying to push through a pipeline and more fracking so we will die from earthquakes and giant forest fires
