[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 4458836, member: 430"] Having read the glyphosate thread, and now this..... We, farmers, are made out to be the bad ones sometimes for not only using this stuff....but also for being the ones who jump up and down trying to save them when they are under threat as if we are trying to poison people. Part of me thinks stuff them. If they want to ban all of this.....it has the potential to hurt them a lot more than us, and we are the ones protecting them from the consequences of their actions and fighting their corner to keep food cheap etc. You can't win! Should our attitude change to "well you can ban these things if you want....but don't say nobody warned you about the unintended consequences" and let them deal with the situation they create. Oh, and the fact that they will still be eating the chemicals they "banned" but at a higher price now because they're being imported. [/QUOTE]
