[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1742597, member: 25884"] You ever read the fine print on the "lean deli ham" you are buying? I am not saying that everything in the modern way of farming is wonderful. There were many many hands involved in the harvesting all the years ago before all the machinery and chemicals. Crop failures were common. People lived much shorter life spans overall... are you willing to go back to times before vaccines that stopped the massive number of deaths from things like measles, small pox and such? Pneumonia? Not being able to get an operation for something like a bypass... or like my knee replacements???? Ladybugs do kill some pests, I use several types of predatory wasps in the garden.... but they don't control some of the fungus' that plants get. I hand pick tomato worms... try doing that on 10 acres of tomato plants. Ever work for hours in the hot sun hoeing corn when a 1/2 hour of a tractor will do what took you 4-8 hours to do??? Do you grow all your own food? What happens when one crop fails.. when grasshoppers or locusts come in and devour it in one hour??? Every single one of us on here has had a crop fail at some time. Many use minimal amounts of chemicals because we care about what we eat and what our animals eat. You make choices and some of them are based on the wallet..... I agree there are too many people in some places... but there are also too many that don't want to put on overalls and go out and work in the hot sun too.... And the ones "over populating" the earth do not have a social consciousness to take care of their own, or to stop at 2 kids or are willing to NOT take government handouts... how are you going to control that??? Maybe sterilization???? Oh but that will infringe on their rights to procreate and do what they want and then let some others, like those of us that do work, contribute to their welfare... [/QUOTE]
