If it is not then, what happens? It is probably the statement of the session, if not the day, that if we were to change our entire farming practice, in 12 months we would see an increase in water quality. I am trying to tease out that statement. I want to know the data behind it and if they have been looked at. I want to know where does the figure of 12 months come from because it is a really significant statement to make. If the EPA can stand over the statement that the reduction of nitrogen in farming practices can change our entire water supply within 12 months, that is a really significant statement.
