The state of California is more than likely going
To add glyphps to the "known to cause cancer
List"
This is a big deal since it is referenced in many
Other states, and safety issues.
Also some countries also reference this.
I believe in CA they have to cert school foods to
Be free, what do you do when you test, and they
Will, to have RR gene ? The big food and rest chains will require
gmo free products, since it could have had glyphos used on it.
Face it people, once that happens, there is no way you can argue
with it, you will never win. How do you, dressed in a pair of overalls
with a baseball cap on, tell the mothers of the nation..."it ain't hurt
me, see" "it's 100% safe (at least that is what they told us".....you will
loose every time, since the california list is respected. If an agency says
it "could" cause cancer, how do you stand there and tell people to keep
consuming it.
the odd thing, where is monsanto in all this ?? have you seen an all out fight,
with mounds and mounds of data to show the opposite ???
I know of several people that have been poisioned by glyphos. Most have been
neuro symptoms, but hey they are not done yet.....you say oh now, i'm a secret agent
for greenpeace.......ah they drew blood, sent it away for testing, come back with high levels.
what will happen.....well i don't think it's an automatic "force" to go organic. I think alot of
people think this issue is either do what we do now, or go organic, and that is not true.
They want to get away from GMO (now we have the data and proof), but we didn't say you
have to go organic.
I know many of you are shaking your head, this will not work, well we will just have to change
some things around, and use some different chemicals.....we used to do it, and we still feed
the world, a case could perhaps be made that the low crop price are a direct result of our low
prices, due to over production ((( remember sygenta's action/product was "responsible for price drop")))
ahhh.....we have lower prices, due in part to a single product.......maybe some young, hungry
lawyer will figure that out.......or how about this....we farmers will loose money since we were sold a product
(rr gmo) that will result in us loosing money, becouse food companies want non rr gmo products, and i didn't
use round up, but when it was tested the gene was there, and i did everything right.....i am hurt financially.......
kind of sound fimular ?
i don't think we can consider this one of those "greenie" things, alot of people reference that list, and there
in some cases good reason to do so. we should not as farmers, be protecting monsanto.....every bag
of beans i had to give them $12 to plant their seed to be resistant to their chemical......you corn fellows
were even worse.
Farmers will be pulled into this, and defend monsanto saying "it's a tool we must have"......again, i will say
it, how do you justifiy using a product on your food that is a known by the state of california to cause cancer".
sure, you'll still be able to use it, but at how much of a discount? and hey, we holler about basis.....imagine
what kind of "surcharge" the elevator is going to pass on to you, for EVERY LOAD to be tested, since they
will need to segrigate...and that keeping things divided and testing.....we'll see less money, even if we
are playing fair.
my friends, i think we need to take a long hard think on this.....and what i will guess, this will be frosted
over this spring, the seed salesman making fun of it, etc, etc, but come next fall, all of a sudden this
will become an issue, and here you are, bins full of grain, that's going to be sold at a discount.
the other odd thing, why wasnt this plasted in the ag media......imagine this as an ag liability issue....
you have the hired hand handling chemicals known by the state of california to cause cancer.....does
the term OSHA send a shiver down your spine ???????
as if we needed more headaches, and have a challange the way it is.
