Salmonella is a natural substance too ... but I don't want it in my intestines either. Nice straw man argument, but I didn't say I was fine with organophosphates, in fact I supported *not* being fine with them. I too grew up on a farm and saw decades of corn grown. I played hide-and-seek between the rows as a child, push cobs out of the trailer into the elevator as a youngster, and planted as a young adult. Somehow my parents were smart and capable enough not to expose me to poisons and GMOs while producing product, as were hundreds of years of farmers before them. It's a shame you didn't enjoy that childhood as well.

“ . It’s a shame you didn’t enjoy that childhood as well.”

Words of a person with some serious issues.
You may want to find a good counselor.

Any farmers who are successful are eager to learn and adopt useful technologies.
Hybrid corn in the 30’s, going from horses to tractors, going to combines from 2 row corn pickers.
Liberals have this fantasy view of a farm that is like a 1948 postcard with minimal technology .
That is a fantasy view .
More food is produced today with fewer inputs than anytime in history.
Yet people want to whine and complain and attack farmers.

Yeah I get the disdain for large companies like Syngenta and Monsanto .
I don’t like everything be so large and depersonalized either.
I like the 60’s and 70’s when things had a more personal touch.
But things change like it or not
