I was told that you can’t be a supported or practicing priest outside of your ordained geography or essential the area your Cardinal covers? For instance if you were ordained in Italy you could not move to the US and practice and have a parish. Does this sound correct?

Just curious “it” just has to have a certain level of intelligence before you are not interested in consuming said product?

That class of herbicide is no longer used or intentionally sold for lawn use by/to homeowners and golf courses/lawn maintenance. As for farm use it is used mainly on corn and sugar beets. Very unlikely you would get grass from a railway right away or a pasture for your garden, but hey you never know. Also I can’t see a rancher picking up after cattle to sell manure. Also ranchers don’t usually spray native grasslands. I can’t definitely say “never”, however after some issues in the past this class of herbicides has restrictions added to the label to overcome its tainted past. I am not saying we can’t do better, as farmers we live in this environment as well and want to continue making a living from it.

Great reply to a complex problem.
Like any group of individuals or businesses there will be those that are the outlier in performance or adherence. With agriculture in North America we need to take more sensitive lands out of production to crops that require intensive management. •Secondly if we could only return more wetlands that have been eliminated for the past 150 years we would have a sponge to absorb nutrients before they got to an ocean or a lake. •Thirdly drainage from storm sewers and some farm lands needs to be held back in some form to allow nutrients and toxins and trash to be collected/absorbed or broken down biologically. •Sadly no one wants to lose an upper hand in growing or maintaining their farm, business or municipality when it comes to improving the environment. • I do think you are onto something about measuring the economic value the environment brings to a country or city or municipality, we should measure that wealth with a standard per capita, per GDP and some smarter people than me come up with a solution.

Try this https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/Water-Level-Forecast/Weekly-Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/ for at least Lake Ontario levels to start. The outflows should be proportional to the lake levels. What makes it a bit difficult to judge is the dam at Cornwall Ontario and what they do with its flow into the St Lawrence as well as the flow from the Ottawa River depending on where you are located on the St Lawrence
