On Nov. 16, a U. S. District Court Judge ruling in a case will force Florida to set water pollution standards to control water runoff coming from farms and running into waters of the state or the United States. Agricultural producers must wake up and understand the gravity of this case. This will be the first time EPA will be issuing standards with specific numeric limits to control runoff from not only Florida’s farms but eventually this will move to every state.
