| Message | Opposed. This won't make us more productive it will hinder production. |
| Date | 10:15:58, July 07, 2008 CET | From | Plowshare Collective | To | Debating the The Pesticides Act |
| Message | organic farming and polycropping is demonstrably, significantly, more productive than industrial agriculture - it's only cheaper to monocrop and use chemical pesticides, not more efficient overall. |

| Message | Polycropping has absolutely nothing to do with this bill. Don't create straw men, it does not help your case. Organic farming is not more productive, it is far less so and drives up the price of commodities. |

| Message | We disagree if it is enforced as the norm...not that pricing and efficiency are the only issues though. |
