[QUOTE="ajd132, post: 7067856, member: 4612"] I basically see it as the farmer merely becomes an applicator, who takes all the risk and doesn’t need to use his brain. I was invited to a bayer conference last September in Germany, the American farmers there could literally not think of any kind of solution to any of their problems apart from buying it from bayer and basically begging them to come up with new solutions. I was shocked by how reliant upon this stuff they had become. On the contrary there was an Argentinian farmer there who did a speech, he was actually moving away from GM etc to a more regenerative system, but said he would still occasionally use GM seed if he needed to, he was beginning to make more money and find answers to problems himself (I’m not sure why they asked him to speak to be honest!). It was very eye opening. They didn’t manage brainwash me, I fact it pushed me back in the other direction. [/QUOTE]
