I wasn't taking sides here. I telling you like it is, not how I wish it were. How much other stuff did they use for years, decades even before they realized there was a problem? And the chemical companies have a poor track record. That means the average consumer doesn't trust them. And really? When it comes to marketing your crops? You have to have a salable product to sell it. If no one wants it you get low prices and go broke. So it matters not what you believe or what I believe, it's what the average consumer believes. Don't matter what you buy into......and like I said, I haven't taken sides in this. I telling you what the average person is seeing and hearing. And most of it is negative. Just the way it is.
Gene, I know about ethanol. I was basically making the statement that if a person is so concerned with feeding the bellies of the world they wouldn't grow crops destined for the gas tank. Guess what, the average consumer knows that too. This too hurts the farmers credibility when trying to convince people that what is produced is safe. My fault, I should have made it clear. Think about it. Almost everyone has access to the internet. So you tell me how the American farmer feeds the world and I check and find that you don't. Then you tell me how important it is to feed the starving bellies and I know that a certain amount of what you grow goes to BIO fuels. Keep in mind that the average person doesn't know there is a difference in types of crops. So now the average person egged on by the tree huggers and PETA is convinced you lie. Now tell them again how safe GMO's are? And this is what the farmer is fighting. Preaching to each other on this forum is doing nothing to fix the problem.
