Ron Alexander argues farmers must balance production with environmental care. He cites erosion tests and pesticide labeling, noting plant nutrients contribute little to algae growth compared with urban pollution, urging prudent use of chemicals and gradual adoption of new tech. He warns against banning essential agricultural chemicals without viable substitutes, and ends with a note on a black widow spider killing pests.
