Those forever chemical again ...

[LightRoasted]

For your consideration ...

I wonder if the Maryland Department of Agriculture, or the local Farm Service Agencies, or the St. Mary's County Farm Bureau, or the Calvert County Farm Bureau, or any local farmers are having their soils tested for these forever chemicals? Since it has been well established that many local farmers get forever chemical contaminated sludge from PAX River, a large known contamination source of these chemicals, and from other contaminated areas, spread upon their fields. Forever chemicals, which are taken in by the crops grown, and also make their way into foraging animals, such as deer, as well as any raised farm animals from the feed crops produced.

Inquiring minds. I'm guessing they will never have their soils tested. Because, if it is found to be contaminated, then all crop farming must cease, and the land dead.

So .... What say you local farmers?

I've used a lot of biosolids in the past because it's cheap - free in some cases. I haven't used any in the last 4-5 years, though I am aware of some of the harmful chemicals that can be in the sludge and will stay in the soils forever. I've never had any biosolids from Pax River, but plenty from Back River and Patapsco - much worse I'm sure. I've never had soils tested for any of the chemicals mentioned above. But hey - what's a farmer to do when the economics of this product just work and the state has lots of it to get rid of? I'm either gonna die from eating Perdue chickens that eat my corn raised on the soils that have received these biosolids or I'm gonna die from a gunshot wound while shopping for Perdue chickens at Weis in St. Mary's Square - either way, my family can blame Perdue for my death...

Still wondering if the covid jab is a forever chemical.

Oh yeah - if my family can’t get a payout from Perdue, they can go after the manufacturers of paraquat and glyphosate. Someone will have to pay my family for my death!

Hmmm, got me wondering if I was exposed while in uniform, and that contributed to the cancer formation...???

If you were exposed to fire suppression foams, you were most likely exposed to them. Or if they made their way in to base/post water supplies.
