I was really surprised to find out how bad pollution is on farms. I mean you think about fertilizers being bad for the soil but that's about it. Come to find out if there is too much manure on a farm this can be worse than most municipal wastes. There is also milk spillage, this is extremely dangerous. All of these affect the nitrates in the soil and remove a lot of the oxygen in the water that comes in contact with this soil. Then you even have things like oil from tractors, old batteries, and poor storage of fertilizers and feed.
I found a cite that give a lot of great solutions for agricultural pollution. These include things like not fertilizing before a storm, using organic fertilizers, and recycling oil and batteries.
