Especially if they are growing their own food or have their own farm and have ever tried to sell anything. They know people don't want to pay what it costs to grow food.

You need to check out some other threads. There is always someone complaining how the farmer is making so much money and spending it on large air-conditioned tractors with stereo and tv. Suggesting the farmer could lay off the ac, stereo, and tv and sell for less.

No, you just want to ban the tools and technology that allow them to do their jobs and produce their products efficiently and with less inputs than their fathers and grandfathers.

Here we go again.....

No more Monsanto or GMO threads. If you want to "discuss"...and I use the term lightly....the issue, do it on General Chat where you can flame each others opinions all you want. It is evident we cannot have a civil discussion of these topics on this forum.
