Here's why farmers are pushing back against Governor Kasich's plan to fight toxic algal blooms

Governor John Kasich signed an executive order earlier this month naming eight watersheds in distress due to toxic algal blooms in Lake Erie. If the The Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Commission decides to move forward with the order, it would mean tougher regulations on about 6,500 farms, which Kasich said are feeding the algal blooms through fertilizer, manure and phosphorus runoff.
