Interesting. What if someone did that deliberately?

[CGASMIA68]

geee wonder who contaminated the canal water........

[CGASMIA68]

workers relieving themselves in the canal ..is that deliberate or just frigen ignorant

[Mastador1]

What kind of people would be using an irrigation canal as a toilet?

[Wuli]

“How the E. coli came to be in the canal water is still under investigation by the FDA”

Sick agro-worker(s) needing and not having a “port-a-pottie” pooped in the canal. My guess.

[CGASMIA68]

Dont need a frigen degree to figure this one out

[TexasGator]

And why did it take this long to make the determination?

More often than not, e coli contamination of produce comes from cattle feces runoff.

[ConservativeMind]

Infected illegals pooped or swam in the irrigation water.

montezuma’s revenge comes to America. sure saved a lot on wages though.

[CGASMIA68]

I stand corrected

[Okeydoker]

The mexicans polluted Lake Perris to the point they had to close it due to e coli a few years back.

Exactly, and you know that’s what happened. See it all the time in this Ag. area, but we aren’t surrounded by edibles anymore. Only landscape plant growers.

In Yuma cattle and other livestock are a very minor business. OK there is a camel farm for the snowbirds to enjoy and PETA to bitch about.

Likely the field workers relieving themselves in the canal. No intent, just no brains.

[bigbob]

Lettuce barely qualifies as food anyway.

[Nifster]

All those illegal puckers urinate and poop in the ditch

[Nifster]

Yup
