If you track #agriculture and #environmental issues, particularly water, @Anne_Weir1's new report on the Colorado River region and USDA programs is a fascinating read.

Among other things, her data analysis found that @USDA EQIP funds - which are supposed to be the "carrot" to get farmers to implement conversation practices on working farmland - are being used to update irrigation systems in part because Western states' water rights policies encourage farmers to use their entire water allotment, even if the crops don't need the water.

@JacksonRD @USDA @ewg They told @npr @juliaradio that they'll release it at the end of the summer ... 6 mos to release a list of links?! Uh, okay. But somehow we're the liars 😂

[Sarah Graddy @sarah_graddy]

@JacksonRD @USDA @ewg If they're referring to the fabled literature they supposedly have supporting the addition of the provisional practices, we've repeatedly said that we'd love to see it. They said they'd send it to us, then...didn't.

@kristinapet Noooo! I'm so sorry to hear this news.

@AlexSdelaGarza I'm so very sorry to hear this, Alejandro. And congratulations on the cover story! Great job. What a bummer it's being overshadowed by this horrible personal news. I'll keep an eye out for good jobs for you!

"New regulations are needed, not voluntary efforts" says EWG's @Anne_Weir1 in this excellent article covering fertilizer and manure pollution in rivers and streams by @MelinaWalling and @mjphillis for @AP https://t.co/JOHFNyfxdr
