About 75% of all aluminum ever mined is still in use today. (From Aluminum.org)

Of course, if the farmer is talking about “chemtrails” okay...that is pretty stupid and tin foil hat territory.

But if the farmer is referring to crop spraying, it made me pause and think about it. I realized I didn’t know anything about the mechanisms of crop spraying and began looking it up.

I always assumed it was a liquid from tanks under pressure sprayed through nozzles that disperse it just from having watched crop dusters in action, and in researching it, much of the systems (particularly the booms, and maybe even the piping itself) is made from aluminum so as to reduce weight so it can be carried effectively by a small plane or large drone.

I suppose it is possible that the substances being sprayed are liquid passing through the aluminum tubing, and taking some aluminum with it via a process of either slight corrosion or some chemical interaction with the liquid (I assume it is liquid all through the piping right up to the exit nozzle where it is aerosolized, but...even that hypothesis seems like a stretch.

It seems that if there were enough aluminum being sloughed off over time and ended up in the ground when the spray aerosol settles, the equipment would eventually show that in various ways via repair or replacement.

LOL, I guess I will go back and read the whole article now.

Okay, I watched the video, I didn’t hear the guy mention spraying, but perhaps I missed it as I was reading closed captions.

He did sound like he was making a distinction between GMO and heirloom crops, and how the GMO is outperforming the heirlooms.

And with some people, GMO produce is a hot button issue.

I guess some farmers grow and sell non-GMO crops for marketing purposes?

Also, I recall hearing that you can’t get seed from GMO crops like you can with heirloom crops? I just assumed farmers nowadays purchased all their seed either GMO or non-GMO.

Any farmers on the forum who can explain these things to us? Granted, I could use AI to search, but...isn’t that like raising GMO crops in a way? :)

And, again, aluminum METAL won’t do SQUAT to ANYTHING. It is bioavailable aluminum ION which can be dangerous and ONLY happens when soil pH is too low. Did you read any of the first couple of comments?

His soil, PROBABLY, has 5% aluminum content. That means for every 100 pounds of soil (a wheel barrow or two?) there is 5 pounds of aluminum in there. Tell me, how is a plane with an aluminum boom going to deposit another 20 pounds per wheel barrow or two of dirt over his entire farm? And all over the world?

Think it through.
