What? "Re educate the public, or go back to the stone ages and create food shortages and poor crops?" Really? With American farmers only producing about 45% of the worlds food, THE US importing 15% of it's food and with MILLIONS of acres in the US alone no longer in production I don't see the potential for a food shortage. Add in the billions of acres of unused/underused land in the world? Smoke and mirrors. "The sky is falling"!!! And guess what? The general voting public, the folks buying? The educated ones? They know that! The rest know that food comes from the grocery store.
Really again? "Think folks hate farmers now, let them get hungry and then we are in for a ride......" Prices are in the tank because of what? OVERPRODUCTION! Grow too much and you get poor prices. And you can only store it so long before it goes bad. So please explain to me just how people are going to go hungry?
As far as people hating the farmer? You GMO/Roundup guys are no longer part of us. You are one of them. Them being the greedy corporations with the "anything for a buck" mentality. Or at least that's how the end customer sees you. They want safe food. You want to force a product on them claiming it's safe. That makes you a corporate hack to most consumers.
There is some evidence that at least Roundup is questionable. Maybe GMO's too. Want to dispute that? Clean, no strings research. No researchers claiming their research was canceled because of money threats. Because for every study you present saying it's safe they can present studies that say they are not. And most of the studies saying they are safe? Come out of research they (the companies) paid for (questionable by anyone's standards". And yea, Cargil and Monsanto (now Bayer) donated millions to colleges and universities. Follow the money. You may choose to believe them. I don't. Not at least as far as the Roundup.
Heck I've said it time and again. I don't go the organic route. I do avoid soy and corn products when possible. We only use olive oil. Only pop I buy is made with cane sugar. Mostly eat meat and veggies (can't even remember last time I ate cob or can corn). I don't even partake of liquid corn from TN very often. I even buy non ethanol gas when legally possible. Not because I'm afraid of ethanol. But because I don't think the government should be able to force me into it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
