Farmers and Pollution!?

Question

Give a farmers view why they need to use substances which are potentially harmful to the environment. find out wat these substances are and wat thier effects mite be!

Answer 1

Most farmers desire a high yield and farm several acres (most between the hundreds and thousands).....they obviously cannot hand pick weeds and or bugs off of plants when they farm so many acres. Commercial crops have a lot of competition and they want top dollar per bushel. It would be great if more family farmers weren't forced out of business because then the likelyhood for less intensive practices wouldn't be as neccessary.
