Corn Ethanol Production's Exacerbating the Runoff That Feeds the Dead Zone at Mouth of Mississippi River
- "Everybody's growing corn; everybody's throwing fertilizer onto the land. I'm quite concerned about making any headway on the reduction (of nitrates) because you're not going to have anybody who's going to be willing to put an area into conservation. Land will be all corn up here. We've kind of gone backwards." - quote from William Mitsch, professor of environment and natural resources at Ohio State University; quote appeared in this Times-Picayune article.
