I was just paraphrasing the article that appeared in various news sources this morning. The guy who bought the fertilizer contacted police and they followed up (as they should). Result: yawn.

From a farming point of view, it's an insignificant amount of fertilizer. It's harmless unless someone doctors it. The only thing that matters was a sales outlet that didn't follow the rules, which makes me mad (smarten up, dudes).

Overall, I think the media concocted a sexy story with absolutely no substance and plenty of hype. It was a freebie; no actual journalistic effort required. Heaven forbid they should report on actual, complex stories that matter.
