There is no correlation between ethanol production & the size of the GOM dead zone.
Here is the actual data from NOAA & the EIA. Since you want to be a neg repping butt-hurt sissy-bed-wetter about it. You can go fish for your own links.
Dead Zone Area with Ethanol Production Totals.
2010 - 6564 square miles - 13,230,000,000 gallons ethanol
2009 - 3000 square miles - 10,758,258,000 gallons ethanol
2008 - 7988 square miles - 9,000,000,000 gallons ethanol

You mean neg repping like you did earlier in the thread ? Stop being such a sniveling little pussy.
Daveman negged me saying I lied when I clearly did not. So I negged his ass back because the facts clearly prove he is the liar just as you were when I negged you. Then he PMed me back with the quote below. That is what I was refering to in my post.

You sissy's need to get your facts straight. Farmers no longer not just blindly throw fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide & seed at the fields just to watch the rain wash it down the river. They now apply it only when needed & as needed after the crop is growing. Only after they see a good stand of corn & conditions are right do they apply chemicals as needed. Also fewer farmers till their soil to prevent it & the chemicals in it from washing into streams & rivers. This also greatly reduces the amount of fuel used by farmers. Turning over & leveling out the top foot of a large portion of the Earth's surface every year was a huge waste of resources.
Corn yields nearly double with less fertilizer use
In 1980, farmers grew 6.64 billion bushels of corn using 3.9 pounds of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) for each bushel and in 2010 they grew 12.45 billion bushels using 1.6 pounds of nutrients per bushel produced. In total, this represents an 87.5 percent increase in production with 4 percent fewer nutrients during that same timeframe.
