I am a retired farmer/crop adjuster. As a hobby I do Water Quality monitoring for the Missouri Dept of Conservation and DNR. From what I heard in our training, city people use more herbicides and fertilizers on their lawns, on a per acre basis than farmers. They really throw the fertilizer and chemicals to it to get those nice green lawns. Banks? Businesses? Hotels? all have super nice, manicured grass. And the rain in the city, when it runs off those pretty lawns, goes right on pavement and down the storm sewer. No filter strips, no grass field borders or grass waterways like on farms.
I put lots of the blame on city folks.
Farmers put chemicals on for profit, and it isn't profitible to let it run off. But city folks want pretty, and that "Lawn of the Month" sign to go in their yard. And they dont have a clue, or give a rats rear end to where that run off goes.
