The runoff from farms in rural Minnesota is being dumped into the sea? There's almost no place farther from the sea in North America than upper midwest rural farms.

It causes massive algeal growths in the Gulf of Mexico. This sucks massive amounts of oxygen out of the water leading to so-called "dead zones".
It runs into the Mississippi river, which runs into the sea.
Sure, some small amount of it may go down the 2000+ mile trek from rural MN to the gulf, but that's not what anyone imagines when someone uses the term "dumped into the sea".
