Would you like to know how many applications of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and miticides each of these crops has applied each and every year?
Click on this link, scroll down and look at the shocking charts:

Did you know onions have at least TWENTY TWO applications of chemicals in a single season?
By the way for those who do not know, most of the sugar in the U.S.A. is now made from sugar beets, not cane sugar.
Hops of course make beer.
Field corn is what is fed to livestock as it is being raise for meat, eggs, or dairy.
After viewing the charts, do you think you will buy more of your produce from small farmers, who do not use these chemicals, or at farmers markets, or possibly grow your own garden?
Just currious about how people feel, when faced with the reality of the oil based chemicals that are going onto our food crops.
