 read


"Organic gardener and renowned writer Rick Austin in no fan of Monsanto. The Secret Garden of Survival author recently sat down with The Inquisitr to share his thoughts on the Crop Protection Collaboration program between Monsanto and American Vanguard, and shared some of his best pesticide-free growing tips along the way.

American Vanguard recently announced that its AMVAC Chemical Corporation arm entered into an agreement with Monsanto to co-market Impact and Roundup Ready PLUS. Impact is a corn herbicide. Roundup Ready is one of the top selling products for biotech giant Monsanto. Impact reportedly “compliments” Monsanto’s Roundup WeatherMax and Power Max products. The products allegedly enable better control of broadleaf weeds.
Weeds are good, according to author Rick Austin, and do not need to be controlled by chemical products, or even hand-pulled by backyard gardeners."
