Document Summary

So it"s a struggle because there are so many different types of crops, so different fertilizer and different practices. Best management practice-best yields but reducing n, p, s. Agriculture needs to get down to 33% of the total n load. Agriculture needs to get down to 39& of the total p load. Highest sources of p are basically the same as highest sources of n. the numbers of p are just a little smaller. Its actually more profitable to do no till farming. Some bmp"s are actually better for the farmers economy and actually better for the animals. If there are not enough farms in one area, not enough specialized workers to do repairs and things. An estuary is a partially enclosed body of water formed where fresh water from rivers and stream flows into the ocean and mixes with salty seawater. Estuaries come in the form of bays, lagoons, harbors, inlets and sounds.
