they were able to trace the PFAS from the hay to the cows to the milk.
this is good and all, but it seems that the magical properties of this is probably being oversold a bit.
Yes, compost tea. it's good to have a compost pile.
some buy airstones, a water pump, put them in a gallon jug, put some water in the jug, put some molasses in the water, put some compost or some other source of microbes in, and make the compost tea that way.
Many people aren't farmers and don't have access to farm equipment. But a $20 aquarium pump, water, molasses and some microbes, which might just be around, will get you aerated, aerobic compost tea. you can do google searches for compost tea molasses or something like that.

and then they got some clean hay, and the pfas wasn't in the milk any more.
fair enough.
I do think that the cows eating the hay caused the rise in pfoa and then, better hay caused the fall in pfoa.
But I see the other point you're making, and I'm on your side with that.
What I'd like to know is the danger level of the pfoa. They've been around a long time, and we know they're bad, but are we going to say that the farms need to be 0% of that? they don't seem to want to say things like NO GMO. Or NO Glyphosate. And we know that we have failed to keep ourselves free of pfoa. So, it's tricky.
Interesting question. If there is pfoa in the soil, and normal hay sucks it out of the soil, where does the pfoa go when the hay is burned? Does the pfoa go into the atmosphere? Does the pfoa remain with the ashes? if the pfoa goes into the hay, where does the pfoa go when the hay is placed in water? does it go into the water or does it stay with the hay?
It would be good to have systems to get rid of the pfoa, either on land of in the body. The pfoa apparently doesn't go away, but we should have some method to get rid of it. Apparently there are tiny bits of plastic floating around in our blood. How do we get rid of them?
Hang Dupont, hang Gore-Tex, hang Chris Coons.
But, we should have the data on all the things and make rational decisions based on the data.
It seems like Putin is doing the stuff that we wanted Trump to do.
Arrest warrant for Soros over there.
Putin's messaging is even closer to us here than Trump's messaging is.
