[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] the ones that burn, burn every crop. You'll see the smoke plumes from 20 30 miles away, hundreds of acres at a whack.... they use ATV's with kerosene spraying to start 'em. They just race along the upwind side and then go do a smaller break to stop it... the producers (we don't call 'em farmers here) claim it's "clean". It does kill some bugs and thier eggs and larvae. Mostly they just say they "always done it" and they ain't gonna stop.... cotton is the primary crop that got this going. the palnt leaves very tough stalks that will build up over a few years... Think of how long your jeans last... The stalk is just as tough as the fibers. Cotton gets sprayed for whatever bugs, it gets sprayed with hormones to restrict flowering and then to induce flowering so that it all comes in at once. Then they hit it with defoliant to get the leaves out of the way of the harvesters.... The leaves gum up the works bad, cuz they are tough too..... The plant that's even harder on eqpt is hemp, that stuff destroys harvesters its so tough.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
