Normal traffic has flow has been restored on U.S. 62 in Marshall County after spilled chicken waste caused hazardous driving conditions on Monday morning.
we used to have a beautiful water crowfoot plant that used to blanket huge sections of this wye. and now, there s nothing. this river, which is supposed to be the nation s favourite river, is literally being used as an open sewer. sewage released from treatment plants is a big issue. absolutely disgusting. it smells foul. but the biggest problem is actually pollution from agriculture. there has been a massive increase in the number of chickens being farmed for meat and eggs in the wye valley. huge new sheds have been put up to house what is now an estimated 20 million birds. now, 20 million chickens produce a lot of waste. but chicken waste, chicken manure, is a great fertiliser, so the chicken farmers sell it to other farmers to improve their soil, and that is the problem.
