It's a shame we didn't have more coverage like this earlier on, but we will be getting another crack at this one.

Nature is giving us feedback. High nitrates closes water fountains in South Canterbury while culling of laying hens begins. Perhaps intensive industrialised agriculture is not such a great idea?
