| Yep, you're right, the farmer mentioned the post-war "petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides" without making any judgment on them (or rather, if anything, a positive one), it's the author who mentioned the "poisoning" of the Columbia River without any support to her claim. Seeing that the Snake River is one of the longest river in the U.S., with a few big cities, livestock operations and mines along its path, it does not seem very likely that the plains of The Palouse, which for the most part are not in the immediate vicinity of the river and are rather dry so would keep most rainwater on site, could be responsible for a lot of polluting run-offs. I commented the article asking the author to justify her claims. I couldn't see anything on the Internet about such pollution.
