Even a little bit of it can effect the overall health of you. Agriculture is sometimes harmful because of the poor choice farmers make in choosing pesticides and fertilizers. All these things they are applying to the soil are making ground water bad to even touch. Please think on this subject a little more Bryant Hudson. And do some more research.

But let me observe that Lake Tenkiller water quality has dramatically declined over the last 30 years with the increase of chicken farming. I also read the USGS reports on nutrient loading of the watershed. Why are people so short sighted (well money duh). Chicken waste is great fertilizer - you just don't need so much in one place. Lake Tenkiller used to be a beautiful lake - it was true treasure of Oklahoma. Obviously, these are complex issues.
