No, G.E. in their infinite wisdom, broke up the Ft Edward Dam in the 70's, the PCB's were contained until that event, now they can be traced around the world according to someone I know in the Wadsworth Lab in Albany NY. They have been held accountable and liable for this environmental disaster and will commence dredging a huge length of the river bottom this year, a monumental task, to recover the PCB's in the layers of sediment. The PCB's are encapsulated at this stage, some argued to leave it as is.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
