[QUOTE="john250, post: 951627, member: 4406"] My beef with organic is that it is Berkley philosophy professors promoting it. Organic is getting a free ride on the promotion side. And they are slandering me--a guy who uses 20 gallons of 2,4-D a year--maybe. It is a hatred of all things corporate. The herbicides and insecticides are produced by big corporations who make profits, so the corps don't care if it makes us sick. Maybe just me, but I have a kinder view of the corporations who make the stuff that relieves me of losing half a crop to weeds and insects. Does it make us sick? I'm a child of the chemical age. I used "agent orange" on wild cucumber from a hand sprayer as a kid. I seem to be alive. The real crime here is professors who are "tenured' at $150K/yr and are resentful about farmers who may make $50K in a good year. Farmers already give .01 per bushel on soybeans, a cent on corn and $1/hd on cattle for "promotion". Not attacking CP, just some more info. [/QUOTE]
