Hey, and im sorry if i caused offence, it was an off the cuff remark and i did put a smiley after it :)) I lived near Avebury for a number of years and got to know a couple of farmers who seemed proud that they used chemicals and were not organic, the crops do look beautiful but i do find Monsanto and their ilk very sinister indeed.


Thank you, appreciated.

I'm all for organic farming and know varying levels of pesticides are used on a large proportion of our food crops; I don't know how Wiltshire fares in this. Some while ago I spent time in Lincolnshire where the crops are heavily sprayed; around Spalding there was a very high incidence of breast cancer which was thought to have a correlation to field spraying, though these statistics are hard to prove.

Do you have any reason to believe Monsanto is involved around Wiltshire, I thought it was an American company.
