Does this mean our government or the Environmental Protection Agency is not telling us the whole truth?

This season, on my farm in Shiprock, I was contemplating whether to plant a garden and alfalfa. The two stories confirm our measurement of high lead content from the lab where I work. Every Wednesday, our lab runs full analysis, including heavy metals. Because of these findings, I will not be farming this season.

I do not want to jeopardize my family, livestock and contamination of my farm soil. Last season, my six grandchildren from Longmont, Colorado, helped on the farm. Their effort was a total loss due to the spill.
