Charlie, that is exactly the message I try to get across to the great
uneducated but opinionated masses that
seem to think I am responsible for all the evils in the world by growing
roundup ready canola and spraying
it with Roundup. Usually I just let the remarks pass because there is no
use in arguing with a closed mind.
To me the bottom line is that all the herbicides and pesticides we use
are carcinogenic but I can't grow a decent
crop without them. And organic food sure won't feed the world. I'd be
happy grow organic crops and be
independent of the chemical companies but I don't see it happening. In
this part of the world the crop
sprayer is the most important and used machine on most farms.
Ralph in Sask.
