24D and glyphosate (Roundup) are pretty safe things that work on plants, not mammals. We need to keep watch and we shouldn't trust the fox to watch the henhouse, but the way these 2 products work and the many years of testing and experience, says we are better off with than without them.

It's a real black eye the way the govt has treated our military person ell from the Agent Orange days. That stuff was a mix of 24D (which is fine) and 24T (which is completely different and very bad for humans). Monsanto, which made agent orange for the govt, even said to the govt this is bad bad stuff.... The govt peop,e sitting in offices at the time said it was fine, we are only spraying land and the enemy, won't be a problem. Actually out on the battlefield all sorts of friend and foe got downed with the stuff in actual use, no one ever got together on all that and communicated......

Herbicides were fairly new back then, and the govt wanted something that would kill back the jungle in a fast way back them, dang the consequences of it....

And now it's hushed up and swept under the rug, it's a bad deal our govt should do better.


24D was and is not the problem tho. Very clearly from near the beginning, Monsanto itself said 24T is a bad thing but the govt ordered it to make it. sime complaint, selfish groups out there intentionally confuse the public and misinform about 24D as being Agent Orange or that Monsanto is totally responsible for the ipuse of Agent Orange. I think that is a pretty bad deal as well.

This is my understanding of it all.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
