[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 44112, member: 337"] what hurts a lot of lakes is the creeks/rivers that flow in because many of those rivers/streams meander through fields that have been plowed right to the very edge with no buffer so what you have is the equivalent of miles and miles of no buffer feeding into the lake - it's not just the lake's own shoreline - it's the 100s of miles of shoreline of the rivers/streams draining into it. some counties in MN are successfully implementing programs that cost-share minimum 50 foot buffers along all waterways I wince every time I drive by what used to be a wooded creek and see that they basically tore everything down and they now farm right up to the waters edge - not a single foot of buffer - see it all the time here in the valley and western MN. This is the solution I am hoping will someday be implemented widely by ag in ND and MN. Simple buffer strips along creeks/rivers. Riparian buffers are getting so rare here out east (RRV) it's really depressing.
