We hope you had a enjoyable Labor Day weekend.
Many people took off work this past weekend, but for farmers, especially small organic farmers, it is not always possible to celebrate holidays if they come at times when farmers need to be tending their crops..
Controlling weeds is particularly hard for organic farmers compared to GMO farmers, who often drive air conditioned tractors guided by GPS, pulling spraying equipment that drench their genetically modified crops with #RoundUp herbicide to kill weeds.
If organic farmers sprayed #herbicides on their traditional crops, the crops would die. Instead of big tractors, organic farmers usually drive decades-old open-air tractors pulling cultivating implements that mechanically remove the weeds from between the rows. To finish up, they often walk down the rows with hoes to get rid of any weeds missed by the cultivating equipment.
USDA Certified Organic food sometimes costs a little more than GMO because GMO farmers receive tax subsidies. As a result, major food corporations have replaced real sugar with the GMO version called high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The subsidies make #HFCS cheaper than sugar. HFCS contains Round Up residue at levels that devastates microflora in our intestines. The residue is linked to #ADHD, #celiac disease, and numerous other conditions.
Pines was established in 1976 with the goal of using its profits to support #organic #farming while producing the world's must nutrient-dense green #vegetables. For 40 years,our profits have gone to support those goals. We have helped convert thousand of acres of chemically-abused farmland back to organic and have contributed $1.2 million to environmental and organic farming organizations. We chose the PIne tree as our symbol because it is an intentionally-recognized symbol of the #peace found in nature.
