A fertilizer spill at a farming cooperative has contaminated a nearly 50-mile stretch of river, killing 750,000 fish, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

NEW Cooperative, Inc. in Red Oak notified officials Monday, March 11, that a valve on an above ground tank storing liquid nitrogen fertilizer was left open all weekend, according to a March 28 news release from the agency.
 

Approximately 265,000 gallons of fertilizer poured into a drainage ditch before making its way into the East Nishnabotna River, the agency said.

Gary Moritz of NEW Cooperative told McClatchy News on March 29 the company had no comment at this time.
