| Message | Kick off the last one and we have a deal. Listen, we're all for the first one, but the second one is a need. Especially since we don't have the cash to make the safer alternatives cheaper. If we take away pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, then the economy will take a blow that it does NOT need. |
