“ . 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

Play the victim card much? Poor you having to deal with someone who disagrees with your defense of putting pesticides into the DNA of what we eat instead of allowing us to wash it off as has been done for ... ever ... prior. Technology is great. I love the advances in agriculture machinery and hybridization. But, whether it be with vaccines, food, cigarettes, or socialism, I draw a line when the advancements start harming people. Good people like me draw those lines. But you do you and keep eating the GMO foods and enjoy the coming lab grown meats. I'll keep up the good fight not to be forced to join you at that table.
