Get us off the pesticide treadmill

Superweeds and superbugs are emerging all over the country. Farmers across the Midwest and South are losing their fields to pesticide-resistant superweeds so formidable and fast-spreading that they break farm machinery.

Instead of abandoning a losing strategy, Dow aims to get us all running faster on the same broken pesticide treadmill by seeking approval for its 2,4-D resistant seed lines. Sign this petition to block their release into the marketplace and head the pesticide industry off at the pass. >> http://action.panna.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=9109
