[...] his salvific faith in cotton farming comes at a cost: monocultures such as cotton deplete the soils they are planted in; become more susceptible to pests and erosion and thus require greater inputs of pesticides, herbicides, and labor; and encourage industrialized cultivation techniques that rely on questionable technologies and further trap farmers in cotton production. [...] they offer a means to envision more richly, and empathize with, farmworkers of color, at home and abroad, who - contrary to transnational agribusiness sloganeering - feed and clothe the world, whose "foreign" labor makes "domestic" habitation possible.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. agreed to pay more than $1.25 million to settle claims it violated the Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Law, Attorney General Chris Koster said. Koster said Wal-Mart sent common household products such as charcoal, potting soil, herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals that were returned to or could not be sold at Wal-Mart stores to two sites in Neosho for disposal by the contractor, Greenleaf LLC. Greenleaf did not have the necessary permit for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste and did not properly manage the waste materials.
Petroleum makes the world go 'round. Oil propels 95 percent of all land, sea and air transport. It also drives farm machinery and makes agricultural fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. It's the raw material for plastics, clothing and construction material. Humanity consumes 85 million barrels per day, and rapid development of Asia keeps boosting the need. The International Energy Agency predicts that demand will hit 113 million daily barrels by 2030.
ORADELL -- The Borough Council on Tuesday night pledged to review the use of pesticides and herbicides on public grounds, after the recent treatment of Memorial Field sparked a public outcry. Mayor Dianne Didio followed up on reports that students and residents had been allowed on the field within hours after herbicides had been applied.
We are in the pain relief business, whether it's with Ringmaster Rubbing Oil, vitamins, nutrients or simply providing health information we continually advocate proper diet in helping to build the body's resistance to pain. Here is a tip: The next time your muscles feel tight or just sore from working out, rub down with some Ringmaster and drink some tart cherry juice, which, like Ringmaster, has anti-inflammatory properties that block pain. Researchers believe, that combining certain anti-cancer foods helps to increase their effectiveness in preventing unstable molecules from damaging cell structures. Many of the anti-cancer foods are also good for the heart. Especially coldwater fish like salmon, tuna, rainbow trout and sardines that are rich in omega 3 fatty acid which helps to preve...

Household hazardous waste Bring: aerosol cans, antifreeze, batteries (vehicle and rechargeable only), blacktop sealers, bug spray, disinfectants, drain cleaners, fertilizer, fire extinguishers, fluorescent light bulbs, gasoline, glue, herbicides, insecticides, kerosene, lighter fluid, paints and varnishes, pesticides, photographic chemicals, propane cylinders, solvents and thinners, thermometers, used motor oil and filters.
It isn't dirtless hydroponics he's talking about, but a process he calls 'terraponics' in which quality soil is pasteurized to kill certain pathogens, then remineralized and re-energized with worms, fungi, and bacteria to produce the most nutrient-rich environment possible for growing produce - and reversing what he claims has been a 50% decrease in the nutrient value in food in recent years because of pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful soil impacts.
Walk through almost any market these days, even the big chains, and the environmentally oriented shopper can find a wide array of "organic" produce - cereal, pasta, dairy products and, increasingly, wines. We are sipping an organic Bonterra Zinfandel as we write this column, and it is every bit as good or better than most other Zins, but what does the "organic" label really mean? Biodynamic agricultural methods were first described in a series of lectures by philosopher and social thinker Rudolf Steiner in 1924. In a general sense, he prescribed the first organic farming practices, ranging from soil preparations using compost instead of chemical fertilizers, to various means of pest control without the use of herbicides and pesticides.
Marie Goodwin is all about the tomato these days. Or rather, tomatoes. Fifty-one varieties are represented among the 180 tomato plants she's cultivating in her half-acre garden in Shawsville. While she's now picking a bushel every other day, the big harvest will come Aug. 13, when she brings her crop to the annual EastMont Tomato Festival. Goodwin's farming method is decidedly old-school. Beehives for pollination. No pesticides or herbicides. And, of course, heirlooms over hybrids -- a message she works hard to spread through seed swaps with other growers in the winter and canning classes she teaches in the summer.
