Central Texas | Ok, let's outlaw GMOs. We'll go back to insecticide boxes on planters filled with stuff that has skull and crossbones on the bags. I'll go back to spraying my cotton every 7 days, sometimes with a plane because it's too wet to ground rig it. I'll go back to spraying for weeds with stuff that you have to have hazmat suits on when you mix it. I'm sure the consumer will be feeling all warm and fuzzy about that, right? If we're going to worry about every crackpot on the internet or TV complaining about every practice we use in farming then we may as well sell out and do something else. I'm sick of hearing all this negativity about the way we farm now. I know my Dad and Grandpa used stuff that was a whole lot more deadly than what we are using and it didn't seem to make much difference to the consumer then. Of course, the consumer didn't have Facebook to complain on, or a Food Babe to tell them how deadly their food was. We are never going to please everyone out there, if we keep trying to all we are going to end up doing is put ourselves out of business. If we can't use the tools that are safe and affordable, then we are doomed. | |
