Opinons please,The Limestone County Commisson voted Wednesday to seek an injunction to stop the use of biosolids "treated human waste" as fertilizer on farm fields in the county.The citizens of the area have been up in arms since the applications began about 3 weeks ago.The stench is terrible and stories have on the news everyday lately.The commisson wants to stop the spreading,until potential health risks can be determined. Houston Tx.based Snyagro Technologies Inc. has been supplying area farmers the free "fertilizer"through its Leighton Al. plant.Biosolids are said to contain nutrients similar to other,more familar fertilizers.Common concerns of using human fecal waste as fertilizer include the possible presence of prescription drug residue and more than 60.000 toxic substances.Cnn.com has reported that biosolids pose a risk of infecting humans with "ascariasis" a type of roundworm. The EPA approved the use of biosolids in 2004,proposing to change what was then called"sewage sludge"into "compost. A spokesman for the company says,"this is tested,treated,and its safe.I don't believe that should be any concerns from the citizens.The waste is being sent from New York city to the plant,who after processing and treating it,gives it to the farmers.Sounds like New york City has found a way to get rid of their sewage problem.Pay the Houston company to take it and give to the southern farmer.Nobody gives anyone anything for nothing.The company advises to remove all livestock for 90 days from the ground the fertilizer is spread on.But what about the Deer,Turkey and other wildlife? WHAT ABOUT IT GUYS?

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
