| Message | Large farms have been proven to be more productive than smaller farms and we are not about to start forcibly breaking up peoples livelihoods. Moreover, allowing local governments to control and regulate pesticide use increases bureaucracy and reduces competition thusly driving up food prices and increasing unemployment. We are one country with one law. |
