> The number of farmers from our community with Parkinson's is staggering

There are many documentaries on youtube regarding pesticides and Parkinson's (France and Germany, IIRC). Some people claim that single spill on their hand gave them Parkinson, in just few years. Those pesticides are then everywhere and in everything, even if high-end wines (makes sense, wines are supposedly sprayed upto 40? times when growing).

Farming based on spraying poisons everywhere is one of the dumbest ideas of our age.

Same.
