JD you are so right! The little guys are the constant polluters, not the big guys. Large operations are required to submit manure plans. Before the manure is spread, the soil it will be applied to has to be tested. I don't know if it's required to be gridded or just random around the field tested.

Today if I had livestock I still might not be regulated because of the size of my operation, but some of my manure from my yards would still drain right into that ditch.
