For the record
To a Reader from Mansfield...drift 25 miles away in a no wind condition? Boy...you've never been around farming or farmers. If there was drift 50 feet away there would be trouble! I can appreciate your valid concerns for the environment, but please fight your cause with facts.

Spraying chemicals with Mr. Miller
My beef with this book and a few others by the same authors is the total lack of respect for the environment. Chemicals are portrayed as the "good guys" and there is never a mention of their carcinogenic properties or the harm they do to our world. Agricultural chemicals drift at least 25 miles after they are sprayed, even when the wind is not blowing. They end up in our drinking water and cause cancer in humans and animals. None of this is mentioned in this book. It makes me wonder if the authors are sponsored by a chemical company. I wish the authors would write a book on an organic gardener. I do like their style but not their subject matter.
