Dr. Cotter made a statement that she can see the changes brought about by technology coming in a 12-month period. In other words, Dr. Cotter thinks the 12-month testing period is appropriate. My brother is an analytical chemist and he was on the phone to me straight away about this. It is a very unusual statement. Does Dr. Cotter believe a better or longer timeline is required, or is 12 months significant enough to see changes in agriculture practice produce a reduction in the nitrogen levels in water?
