Coming to a Grocery Near You - Pesticide Laden Cor...

Blog: Spring Hill Farms   -   Thursday September 22, 2011   -   By David

One of the many reasons I oppose the use of genetically modified corn is one of the modified traits is to make it resistant to pesticides. To me it only stands to reason that if you know the poison won't kill your corn you would be more apt to use...

Blog: Spring Hill Farms   -   Monday November 15, 2010   -   By David
