Several years ago, I have a tomato plant dying. Never seen leaves do what they were doing. I took the stem/leaves to the ag experiment station to the plant experts. He studied it and studied it and he he did not know.
The following year, same problem. I put the whole plant in my pickup and took it to him. He called in another guy. They studied and studied. Finally, they said that it was their belief that it is dying due to drift from cotton field spraying. I live 5 miles from the nearest field. They said that is our opinion. Some years ago, Maine was thinking about a law that if any chemicals were found on or in an organic vegetable, it could not be classified as organic. They were told that if they passed that rule, it would close down every organic farmer in Maine. Why? DRIFT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
