Agriculture and Water Quality: Old Problem, New Urgency

Abstract

…[The] fundamental issue here is the recognition and acknowledgement that, no matter what, agriculture disturbs the natural environment. The real issue is how much disturbance society will accept; not whether it will accept any at all. The bottom line is that farmers need to understand that there will indeed be a cost to pollution abatement and that it may well be their responsibility to accept those costs in moving quickly to meet society's objectives for protection of environmental quality. Susan Offutt Office of the Management and Budget Executive Office of the President
