Monsanto sells those too. They haven't met a chemical they don't like. - tobor.2 Nov 4, 22:15 8
- I have no love for monsanto. but you know who else runs a racket? "organic" growers. -- nm - loosi at home Nov 4, 22:17 5
  - We would do well to better regulate what can and can't be called organic - con_carne Nov 4, 23:01
  - Then why aren't they rich? - tobor.2 Nov 4, 22:25 3
    - Because most organic farmers aren't good businesspersons? If they were, they wouldn't bother with organic. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 22:40 2
      - Then why are most other independent small (as opposed to factory farms) in the same boat? - tobor.2 Nov 4, 22:49 1
        
        I grew up in a farm town and my father spent fifty years farming. I have a decent sense of the forces involved. - Name Withheld by Request Nov 4, 23:09
- Weird how a chemicals company would like chemicals. - TWuG Nov 4, 22:16 1
  - Man created combinations then. It's what they do. -- nm - tobor.2 Nov 4, 22:23
and oh yeah. those "organic" vegetables grown without pesticides. Those are grown with "natural" pest resistance. - loosi at home Nov 4, 22:15 1
- No it doesn't. We've had this conversation before and you're just plain wrong. - tobor.2 Nov 4, 22:21
