The Chesapeake's pollution can largely be traced to the huge poultry industry on Maryland Eastern Shore (e.g., Purdue), but poultry is a big, powerful industry and Americans have a soft spot in the hearts for farmers, even to their own detriment and even if the so-called farmers are large industrial operations.
