Members of Colorado’s Agriculture and Air Quality Technical workgroup will host two symposiums that focus on how to reduce the impact of nitrogen being deposited at Rocky Mountain National Park by ranchers and farmers. Scientists believe current levels of nitrogen being deposited in Rocky Mountain National Park are twice the acceptable rate, a Colorado Livestock Association news release said. “The purpose of the Agriculture and Air Quality Technical Workgroup is to bring agricultural producers, environmental interests and regulators together to discuss how a collaborative approach toward reducing nitrogen’s impact on Rocky Mountain National Park can be a win-win for everyone involved,” said Bill Hammerich, Chief Executive Officer of the Colorado Livestock Association, in the news release. “As a farmer, controlling nitrogen loss is an important part of resource management,” said Chris Tallman, past president of the Colorado Association of Wheat Growers and a Kiowa County farmer, in the release. “We are facing increasing regulations in every aspect of our business. Taking a voluntary approach to reducing nitrogen emissions helps us reduce nitrogen costs, be good neighbors, and avoid future regulations.”...more
Oh no, even the livestock groups are starting to "collaborate".
Come on folks: coordinate, cooperate, consult...just please don't collaborate.
Better yet: confuse, co-opt, confound, conceal, condemn...yeah, that's more like it.

There's got to be more to this than what we just read. You know, an article in the Westerner, a darn good article I am going to add, took some grief lately on something much less profound than this. In response to this I must now ask, "Are you shitting me?" This is nuts. These fools need to learn something soils.
