For mosquitoes it can be either aerial or ground, trucks with misting equipment, especially in areas where West Niles virus carrying mosquitoes are know to be present. They have been doing that here in Kern County this year. Over the last 3 years there have been over 40 confirmed cases.

    For fleas it can be in areas where there a large population of ground squirrels when there is a concern about bubonic.A couple of decades ago we had from 1 to 5 cases a year of bubonic in an area about 30 miles east of Bakersfield. There were a few people who wanted to be allowed to kill all the ground squirrels. Instead the county did aerial spraying of malathion for about a month and we have not had any cases since.

            I have always limited my pork intake as the swine's do not sweat, hence the salty taste.

                I've been researching electro culture gardening for quite some time but haven't tried it yet. This is nothing new from what I've researched its been a buried technology that works. It gathers electricity from the ether and charges the soil to produce nitrogen for the roots and people swear by it and I am all about producing your own free fertilizer.

                    Re: Gardens, Food and Food supply issues.

                    Why does the FDA allow these ingredients in our food while they are banned in other countries?

                      Could this cause even higher food prices in the near future?

                        When I was growing up here in California there were what were called dry land barley farmers. If they got enough rain at the right time for the seed heads to fully develop, they got a salable harvest it was a bonus. Normally the fields were grazing land for sheep. Even after a harvest the sheep still grazed the stubble fields.

                          Food prices will continue to rise.

                            Hmmmm. I read this article, which obviously you didn't, and nowhere does he say farmers have to stop farming.
                            There were, however, an awful lot of half truths and outright lies. Oh, and as usual in right wing propaganda, there was also an incredible amount of fear mongering.

                              Call it what you will, right wing, left wing, etc. Like I said food prices will continue to climb even higher. This guy fly's around the world in his private jet spewing carbon emissions telling farmers they need to cut their emissions, what a joke.

                                Very first first paragraph.
                                Failed presidential candidate and political fossil John Kerry, a Democrat, is back in the news
                                Farming is growing food.

                                Then there is and [/QUOTE]Scale back farming and slashing farming sure sound like stop most farming and you're saying that there was no mention od "stop farming."

                                I wonder, did you actually read the article.
