‘This is Chernobyl’ on Texas soil

Y'all-itics

Johnson County ranchers say their cattle, fish and horses are dying and getting sick because of fertilizer spread on nearby farmland. That fertilizer is made from treated human waste and it comes from the city of Fort Worth in the next county over. Ranchers say runoff from the fertilizer has made their land useless, so they’re suing. And the battle has even led to a criminal investigation. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons share a pint with WFAA Senior Crime and Justice Reporter Rebecca Lopez to discuss her investigation. One county commissioner even says ‘this is Chernobyl.’ Rebecca also shares what the company behind the biosolids says about their product.
