Mr. Mitchell mentioned the effect hydraulic fracturing would have on farming. Was that in reference to pollution of the water supply, to the fact much of the land will end up under concrete or to the fact that farmers, instead of going about their daily work, will have to deal with trucks going up and down their roads and doing damage to them and making it more difficult to travel on them? Is much being said by farming organisations about this or what is their opinion?
