>*   Effects Agricultural Operations on Air and Water Quality in 
>Farming Communities - On July 7, the USDA Economic Research Service 
>released a report, titled "Improving Air and Water Quality can be 
>two sides of the Same Coin," which notes that " ... Agricultural 
>production practices have generated a variety of substances that 
>enter the atmosphere and have the potential of creating health and 
>environmental problems. The air in some farming communities can be 
>as impaired by pollutants such as ozone and particulates as air in 
>urban areas. Two challenges for reducing air emissions from 
>agriculture are potential inter-relationships with water quality, 
>and a lack of information on farm-level emissions needed for 
>effective regulation and management ..." - The report is posted at
