The figure that has been discussed but not verified by the industry is that there has been a 30% reduction in nitrogen, specifically chemical nitrogen, in a 24-month period which is a significant figure. If that figure were to be verified and the EPA correct regarding reductions in six to 12 months, even taking into consideration that it only accounts for one third, that would be represent a significant amount of nitrates being sorted in the context of water quality. Is that fair to say?
