Hi Lance, Joanne & All,                Aug 4, 2008
    You are on the right track, in that my comments were with reference 
to the now frequent foul denigration of agriculture as the sole source 
of water pollution.

    The combined effect of lawns, ornamentals, sewage, transportation 
and industrial venting may, I suspect, render agricultural pollution 
tiny by comparison but I am aware of no surveys other than opinion polls 
[e.g. Do you think agriculture is a good thing, bad thing or worse thing 
for the environment ?].

    So if the Garden's ducks constitute a public agricultural crop then, 
if I understand correctly, it will be OK for me as a member of the 
public to harvest a few next time. 

Yt, DW
