Let me tell ya'll what we are up against on this lawsuit. About two weeks before Labor Day weekend, I had a couple come in my store from Blytheville, Arkansas. This guy is a large cotton farmer and very wealthy. His wife didn't want him to bring up the subject of the Oklahoma lawsuit but he did anyway. Here is what the farmer are being told, that if Oklahoma wins this lawsuit they will have to account for every pound of fertilizer, insecticide, pesticides, pre-emergents and any other poison they use. He was trying to tell how this whole thing is against farmers and totally about fertilizer and how they opperate their farms.
Let me say that after a couple of his statements, I let him know that I didn't give a damn about him buying anything in my store or his future as a farmer polluting our lakes, streams and river. I informed him that it is more important to the future of any community that fishing guides make a living than the problems of cotton and/or chicken farmer having the amount of fertilizer and such regulated. I explained to him that when fishing guides can't make a living it is an indication of how poor the quality of water that he and his future ancestors are and will be drinking. And, when it comes right down to it, I would rather have clean water, than cotton underwear. I asked if he now understood how much more important fishing guides and clean water are than cotton farmers fertilizer. He bought his shoes and left. His wife agreed with me.
Farmers are being told that this lawsuit will ruin them.
