Extract

Little doubt remains that agricultural operations will be increasingly constrained by environmental regulations. In that spirit, each of the foregoing authors has provided a general framework for a specific environmental issue as it impacts agriculturalists. I learned something from each paper (an important criterion). Rather than summarize the points made by the authors, I have chosen to address each paper separately and point out some specific issues which I feel were overlooked in the papers or which seem to follow directly from the discussions in the papers.
