Lake Winnipeg, the 10th largest freshwater lake in the world, is suffering from severe eutrophication largely caused by excess phosphorus runoff. Environmentalists argue that the rapid expansion of the hog industry is a primary contributor to the toxic blue-green algae blooms choking the lake. Proponents of a ban believe halting new barn construction is the only way to save the ecosystem. Opponents argue that the pork industry contributes over $1 billion to the economy and that strict manure management plans already mitigate environmental risks.
