Elk River Basin - Fertilizers Information from 1998 shows that during one year, over 17,000 tons of fertilizer were purchased and spread on farms in Missouri counties within the Elk River Basin. Below is a table breaking this down by county. This shows that Newton County led the Elk River Basin in fertilizer use in 1998. Notice that McDonald County, MO, used only a small amount of fertilizer in 1998. McDonald county has decreased its fertilizer use significantly since the 1980’s when over 1,000 tons of fertilizer was used annually. 1998 fertilizer use in Missouri counties of the Elk River Basin:
