explosion of crop-choking weeds around the country. but critics warn a approval of the new biotech crops will only increase the use of pesticides and thus increase weed resistance over the long term. plus, and here's where i take offense, that there are significant health risks associated with 24-d. the center for food safety says it has been associated with immune system cancers, parkinson's disease, endocrine disruption, and reproductive problems. i say why risk it? the usda is encouraging public feedback before making final decisions. so if you'd like to weigh in, you can reach the department of agriculture by going to www.aphis.us www.aphis.usda.g www.aphis.usda.gov. make your opinion count. that's all for today. i hope you enjoyed the show and
