I don't think likening them to "landmines" is appropriate. From what I can tell there hasn't been any injuries... unfortunately. :Trollface:

china doesnt have the same requirements that the US does regarding organics
and even in the US a total of 5% of materials used on a crop can be
synthetic, this includes pesticides and crap like forchlorfenuron with large
growers like ConAgra and HJHienz petitioning for more and more to be used
every day so while we dont see it as organic, under the current regulations
it is legal to list it as such

if you buy from large chains like Whole Foods, definately check the labels on
the crap you buy, if it's produced anywhere but the US, put it back. at least int he US there are inspections

this is why I didnt become a farmer...

That and the lack of any goverment aid for australian farmers. Unlike that of various other countries. Not sure if the have such a program in the U.S?

people want organic, home grown produce and at the same time want it cheaper than overseas competitors. :awewtf:

what's really screwed is that in the US, large conglomerate owned farms that
dont need the cash can get millions in subsidies and grants but the small
farmers have a hard time receiving the funds and when they do they tend to be
small. the USDA attaches the funds to a parcel of land, not the farmer
applying, if the farmer sells and it's developed as a residential area then
the home owners get the funds even if they arent growing anything but grass

here's an example

Unless you're a 10th generation farmer who has owned their land since the colonization of Australia, you're in for a tough battle. A recurring trend of flood and drought in Aus usually means that smaller family run properties are sold off during tough times to the farming giants.

At the moment the dairy industry is doing it tough as the major super market chains push prices down on milk to muscle other competing grocery stores.

I think we should all bend over and accept the corrupt overseas producers as our overlords, who are inadvertently destroying competition with the plan to one day eliminate all competition and jack up prices at the mercy of the western world.

Realising this 2 years ago, I promplty quit my agricultural studies to persue a career in advertising. THEY CANT IMPORT THAT :kingcrankey:

I agree, buy local whenever you can!
I don't see what's wrong with forchlorfenuron.
It's a plant hormone, so what's the big fuss about?
It's also approved for use here in the states.

Yeah, I only shop at farmer's markets for my produce, and i'm a member of local, organic meat-CSA in the bay area. that means I only have to buy starches and other stuff from a grocery store and when i do it's from a local co-op who has indicators in their store of which products are local and not. so all my bases are covered  :snoop:

But the lack of exploding fruits available to me in all of this is actually a slight disappointment. Brings a whole new technology to food fights

I'll read the link in a moment. 

Just reminded me
I was driving through our corn growing and farming area the past couple weeks.  Watching the farmers.  It seems most of the big farms here are spraying round-up on 1,000's of acres of land and planting the corn directly in the earth a few days later.  You can see all the other plants yellowing out while the corn just sprouts up through it.

Now we have the rains hitting us.  I wonder how much of the chemicals washed out into our watershed.

loads of things are approved for use in the states, does that mean it should
be used and wouldnt you like to have the choice as to whether it is or isnt
used in what you consume, it's all about maximizing yields and early delivery
of fruits, to me the quality suffers, they dont have time to develop the
flavors they should have. I enjoy the flavor of tomatoes, not these lumps of
graininess you buy in stores but a properly ripened tomato, the acidity and
slight saltiness is far superior to the mushy grainy ethylene gas ripened
shit at the local grocery shipped in from California with a stem attached
with the claim it's 'vine ripened'

I see yourt point, but plant hormones are a huge part of modern farming today. I'm glad we have them. It just looks like those melon farmers went a little overboard!

Grape yields can be increased by almost 400% with the use of plant hormones. :yesnod2:


All fruit is ripened with ethylene gas. :smirk:

plant hormones are a part of modern farming because many farmers want to
increase their profit margins, most of those farms using these things are
large operations just trying to make more and more which I can understand but
then I also see that these farms are hiding their cash in various other areas
in order to report losses and get both the tax write off and the farm subsidies

that 400% figure is a bit of an exaggeration. and for the record, gibberellic
acid is a plant hormone, forchlorfenuron is a chemical compound used as a
growth regulator

Sure some farmers may be hiding profits, but I know that most fruit farmers are not.
They benefit greatly from the use of plant hormones and yet we still have a decline in orchard acreage in the country.
Their use is a matter of competing in a global market.
400% Isn't some made up number. I don't feel like finding the PDF of 50's research again, but here's a picture.
Also, plant hormones are chemical compounds.
And for the record "Forchlorfenuron is a cytokinin..."

forchlorfenuron  was approved for use in 2004 so any research from the 50's
isnt on this current chemical, gibberellic acid has been used for decades and
is a synthetic cytokinin and is listed as a pesticide

This 50's research involved gibberellic acid.
See the second page chart for weight analysis.
As for forchlorfenuron it's just a plant hormone analogue. :shrug:

right, so it's similar to a naturally occurring plant hormone
