    Funny, we have farmers around here that manage to plow for weeds after the corn is up. Maybe they are smarter in Alabama.

    Sustainable farming has no way to control weeds except as PolWatch suggested.

    Insects maybe.

    But one of those ways is BT which you also came out against.

    What would be cool is for you pathetic liberals to self identify and be the ones who eat less as a result of your stupidity.

    Instead others will suffer. I wish your stupidity would follow directly on your heels. I wish it could be your children who die as a result of the decisions you make. That would solve the world's problems quickly.

    But you will manage and others will be the ones who suffer.

    A time of reckoning is coming.

    Or, you could stop eating.

    I don't mind if libs search for better ways to grow food that does not involve toxic chemicals.

    And some smart person may think of better ways to do it.

    But in the meantime we all have to eat.

    We produce so much food that the change from where we are now to where liberals wish we were is not as simple as snapping the fingers.

    But less cancer too. The French are following the Swedes, Danes, and Dutch who have restrictions on Glyphosate already in place.

    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
