USDA Report acknowledges nutrients from livestock and poultry manure are key sources of pollution
http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/aer824/
“Complying with the EPA regulations will require CAFOs to spread their manure over
a much larger land base than they are currently using, and most will need to move
their manure off farm. Only 18 percent of large hog farms and 23 percent of large
dairies are currently applying manure on enough cropland to meet a nitrogen standard.”
