    Roundup is still on the shelf to buy by anyone. How many more DECADES will we have to wait to "find the link"?

    You see where organic is cheaper in the long run on your health and the environment. Get away from chemicals today!

    I hope this farmer wins his case. Things need to change.

      Not if it's getting the blow-over spray from neighboring fields.

      The organic qualification has been weakened and corrupted by eg Walmart and other big food retailers, and by big ag producers

    My dad NEVER let us walk on or near (if it could be avoided) lawns that had been sprayed with herbicides/pesticides. He knew they were toxic and wanted them to be made illegal for residential use. He grew up on a farm in New Brunswick, and three out of the five brothers have Parkinson's. They used various chemicals throughout the 40s-60s. Only one of my uncles continued to use heavy pesticides throughout his life ... he now has severe Parkinson's.

    Most farmers follow the precautions only for few days then they feel it is not dangerous and then leading to misuse

    In France, wine country employees are compensated by their country, and other countries as well.
    My guess is the vitiligo on the wife is caused by the pesticides as well.

      Are you saying farmers are stupid? It's easy to read the labels of what is being sprayed.
