Comments for Federal court turns down Roundup Ready alfalfa appeal at http://lakeconews.com , comment 1 to 7 out of 7 comments http://lakeconews.com Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:42:45 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7625 You are a weird and angry person. What you are spewing has nothing to do with the issue at hand. We are not talking about only relying on ag from here to stock our fridges. We are talking about agriculture that doesn\'t have a huge environmental price tag. Did you know that there are still lead arsenate pesticides leftover in the soils where those pear orchards once stood? Did you know that the pesticide runoff from your fields is ending up in tributaries outside our county? Did you know that hundreds of thousands of pounds of pesticide active ingredients are used by ag in this county alone each year? Sure you do. Because you are part of the problem. I\'m glad to hear you are open to new ideas. So here\'s a few: 1) Stop acting like a good ol boy and get with the program. Petroleum based weed and insect control is on its way out. 2) Growing frankenstein plants is not a smart long term solution to ag problems. Corporate based science cannot help but be tainted. Therefore, relying on their studies (with a cursory review by fed agencies) to prove that these engineered plants won\'t wreak havoc is just plain nuts. In earlier centuries, people complained about religious based science - how is biotech science any different in terms of control? 3)Community based collaboration is working here and elsewhere. And it\'s bigger than backyard gardens. :P - epasarah Sun, 07 Sep 2008 02:01:15 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7602 You have no idea. Move to the valley and sustain your backyard garden. You don\'t understand AG in Lake County. Get some history first, then puke. - smurfhunter Sat, 06 Sep 2008 03:41:15 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7601 :cry: :cry: I would like to see us sustain AG. Please tell me how WE are going to do it. We are secluded by hiway, our climate is last in the growing season. We cannot compete with the valley, yet you folks want us growers to prosper? You want to keep ALL this LOVELY AG land the way it is, that\'s great, who pays for that? There are only a handfull of growers that are making it. Yet there are a lot of armchair quarterbacks telling how to KEEP OUR COUNTY IN AG CAUSE WE LOVE IT,WE DON\"T WANT HOUSES. I am not trying to sell RR Alfalfa. But I\'m sure open to new things. I\'m also sure that SMURF won\'t like that comment, considering the fact that he can\'t take care of his weeds, keep his horses in their pen, get his facts straight on who REALLY has the small PENIS, and who really owns the McMansion and what they never ever did to his so very close [sic] friend that put his shattered life on the line during WWII,[and screwed more people in Big Valley than SMURF ever could know], dude, you have no idea. You don\'t have the history. Therefore, shut the *uck up. - smurfhunter Sat, 06 Sep 2008 03:35:08 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7591 This is a victory for plant genetics and sustainable agriculture. - ekarnowski Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:48:46 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7562 the judges on the US court of appeal for the ninth circuit are more intelligent and better informed that the folks at the Lake County farm bureau and the board of supervisors!! There go Monsanto stocks, down down down... The corporation might have to re-invente itself...Weapons of mass destruction anyone? - Raphael Fri, 05 Sep 2008 07:19:35 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7548 Looks like Monsanto tried to pull a fast one. Glad they were caught. Now let\'s require that the other 70 products have full Environmental Impact Studies. - ElkinsR Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:01:04 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5511/919/#comment-7542 \"Smith said the nationwide injunction had “severe economic consequences” for Monsanto, Forage Genetics, as well as for farmers and distributors who depended on the alfalfa seed being available.\" It is called \"Karma\". - purplegirl Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:42:51 +0100
