But....but....but...you said "crude" value! You are still using estimates. AND, you have offered no proof on YOUR calc method results that are documented anywhere....which was my original posting. YOU, nor anyone else, mallcontent, can say what is Iowa's contribution, or Missouri's, or any other state. Which is the point you can't seem to grasp. That last attempt by your offering an old Iowa report did not even take into account the Missouri river and all its connective states, which enters the Miss near St. Louis, above the confluence of the Ohio river, which was spoken to in that old report about the upper Miss rvr basin being the main polluter. When are you going to get this? NO ONE can say what is anyones' pollution in the gulf. And you should be embarrassed for even attempting to offer that old agendized report. DUH!
If you follow my methods and math, you will determine what percentage of the nitrogen in the Gulf is from Iowa.
That you're unable to understand it is frustrating to me and should be to you. I'm being charitable here.
It matters not where the Missouri and Ohio empty into the Mississippi.
