I don't think that it is just farmers who are victims of cancer, but rather, all of the population of rural areas. I think,(and I don't know for sure) that this high incidence of cancer in rural areas can be attributed to the testing of the atom bombs way back when. The military knew there was a health risk associated with the fallout, and chose to do the tests on days when the prevalant winds would carry the fallout to less populated rural areas, thus affecting the least amount of people possible. I think that we are still suffering the consequences of that testing today. I hope I didn't open up a can of worms.
