2 miles from train wreck….

Ok, we are 2 miles from the train wreck in East Palestine OH. We currently cut n bale about 200 acres (mostly small squares) for horse customers.

We are extremely worried about the effects of the chemicals that were released. There is already a fish die off and reports of chicken and cow mortality.

What should we do/look for? What would you do? New territory for us, just looking for some ideas.

Thanks
