Probably depends on what you wish to prove, some study will
eventually prove it.

Farmers tend to have a longer life expectancy, from getting
more exersize.

As we modernize and implement more EPA and OSHA
regulations, we have less exposure to dust and work, but we
are getting fatter and lazier now. Hydro licks set everything,
auto steer drives everything, electro-hydraulics move
everything. Farmers sit in the cab munching chips.....

Then the chemicals used back in the 1960-1980s were pretty
harsh, today we use less harmful, and lower doses of them,
but it is all the products that people complain about - gmo
crops and shorter lasting herbicides. I guess we are supposed
to go back to the harsher chemicals of the past.....???

So, well, what are the answers?

I presume we will always have more questions than answers.

I have found that most studies on ag seem to involve studies
dating back to the 1960s for their 'current data' and that kind of
troubles me, a lot has changed in ag in the last 30 years. Back
then the insecticides were pretty harsh and in open containers,
you applied herbicides by counting the gluggs as you poured,
you used open station tractors and self propelled tractors, etc.

Are we studying 2010 stuff to get the real scoop?

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
