In today's episode, Brook discusses a new lawsuit filed by a group of Texas farm owners against Synagro Technologies. The farm owners allege that their farms were poisoned by PFAS toxins from a biosolids-based fertilizer that was produced and marketed by Synagro that a neighboring farmer had used on his property. Brook talks about the legal implications that this lawsuit may result in and how this case could affect farmers and fertilizer producers across the country.
