Bass...the comment was made how this area is so bad, we shouldn't
Farm....that gets on my single nerve. I've been thru all
Of that...I didnt say without scares..but if you are going
To laugh at that...then yes, I hope you have to go
Thru what we have, years of dry wx...ponds don't even
Had water...how would Iowa, Illinois or Indiana be
After a number of DRY years, low production and on
Top of that low prices...
You want to have fun of me..remember your physics
"Equal and opposite reaction".
Roundup....when all this started, Monsanto let the
Farmers and farm and commodity groups doing
The fighting...how backwards..a product I buy and
Pay a nice price for, then I work to protect a big
Company...long time ago, data showed problems
With the chemical/system...but was hidden...
How many farmers were told it was harmless...it only
Impacted plants...I was at a meeting once when
One of their company reps it was harmless..said
You could drink it, or stick your hand into
A bucket of it...and no impact.
This was their company man telling farmers.
Data in Europe showed it was not as safe as thought.
Sorry...glyphos was not made to help the farmers,
Rather a huge money maker... Imagine, being
Able to sell your product to over 50% of the
Farmed acres in the nation.
I personally know of two people that glyphos had
An impact on their health.....they were fine when they
Went out....only putting on round up, that
Eve they were sick.
But...now it is case law.
Granted...there could be liability issues for the
University..... But the thing that did the damage
Was a product by Monsanto.
Yes I do use glyphos.,..and yes didn't feel well after
Using it....the smell can make you sick.
I will continue to use...if the price does not go
To the moon, which it could due to product
Liability.
Had they been such good stewards and farmers friends
They have known for years resistance issues....yet no
New chemistry to replace it.
Now...our major chemical and seed suppliers are
Not even American based.....that sir, is a problem
For me...we talk about america...there is not much
Left of us....we've let control leave...and little if
Any resistance by farm groups, commodity or
Other...and justice dept just rubber stamped it.
Many on here want to yell...but the sad truth, america
Has been exported for years...company's left...due
To regulations, but àlso far lower wages...these
Decisions were not made in the white house, but
The boardrooms. The reason...greed..money.
If you did well in the stock market, then you
Are/were part of the problem...demanding good
Returns.
This has been happening for a number of years.
With our society and economy...although I wish
We could push time back and fix our mistakes,
But.......
Just to rub salt into open wounds..under who's watch
Has the "sell out of agriculture" happed with chemicals
And seed ??
I have to say in one respect I feel sorry for trump...
The trump ship has so many holes in it, they are running
Out of staff to put fingers into holes to stop leaks.....
Problem is....I'm riding in the same boat.
