Hey David!
Just received this message. I sent a note to Tucker Milling regarding the source for their feed stock, and I received this message:
Hello,
While we don’t grow crops ourselves, we do carefully select vendors and source the best quality and freshest ingredients possible. We put serious consideration into our diet formulation and ingredient selection processes in order for our feeds to produce vibrant, healthy animals. Many of our products and ingredients are sourced locally, while none are acquired from the Ohio River area. I appreciate your concern.
Thanks,
Kevin Satterfield

For what it is worth, ten years ago or so, I interviewed some one at Braums ice cream chain for my radio show on health. While the food was not organic, it was very close and of very high standards. I try to eat and shop there any time possible. It is unfortunately, some what local to the SW.
Standard Process supplements, are all organic, they grow the vegetables on their land, grow their own feed for their own animals and process it, again on this down land. It is available by Rx from NDs and many chiropractors or other trained health professionals.
Many chiropractors have set up their own online virtual stores, and you can order Standard Process from them and have it delivered to your house. No prescription needed for the supplements.
At the time they lit off those railcars, the prevailing wind was from the southwest and heading northeast. Think of western New York agriculture (wine country) getting the majority of the fallout from the toxic smoke. And what didn’t settle out has been rained out by now.
What ends up in the Ohio River from surface water runoff probably won’t be that much different than what is in the Ohio River anyways from all the old steel mill sites, coke ovens, shaft and strip coal mines, oil and gas exploration that are constantly draining into the Allegheny and Monogehela Rivers anyways. And it will get so diluted the Ohio will probably never see the difference. How much water is pulled directly from the Ohio River for municipal or agriculture anyways? Not much, I’d wager.
Cincinnati pulls from the river. Valves closed until the pool passes.
