Call on Secretary Vilsack to halt the pipeline of crops that will drive up pesticide use, starting with â¨rejecting Dow's 2,4-D corn. <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=d37Fcgb1OZ7PokUGEKJ2TvhDnZ8VFUIA> Take Action Dear, The âBig 6â pesticide corporations are hoping USDA will quietly green-light their suite of ânext generationâ GE seeds, including Dow's 2,4-D-resistant corn and Monsanto's dicamba-resistant soy. If approved, these herbicide-resistant crops in the pipeline â there are 10 in total â will drive up the use of hazardous pesticides, destroy neighboring crops and create unnecessary health risks to farmers and rural communities. Will you help ensure USDA knows what's at stake? <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Wldc8iMZoAuRkqHM3ufhE%2FhDnZ8VFUIA> Tell USDA to stop the GE pipeline» Dowâs application for 2,4-D-resistant corn is first in the queue, and 2,4-D soy and Monsantoâs dicamba soy are not far behind. With a decision on the first application due any day, we need to speak up now. And loudly. Scientists warn that 2,4-D corn alone would increase the herbicide's use by 30-fold. The introduction of dicamba soy could cause a similarly dramatic surge in use. And both herbicides are known to drift, easily destroying other farmersâ crops of tomatoes, grapes, beans, cotton, soy â just about any broadleaf plant. Just as Monsanto's RoundUp Ready seed line led to the emergence of herbicide-resistant "superweeds" across the country, so too will the next generation of GE seeds. And instead of abandoning the losing strategy of stacking seeds with herbicide-resistant traits, Dow, Monsanto and the rest of the Big 6 are introducing more of the same â but with seeds engineered to withstand repeated applications of antiquated, more dangerous chemicals. <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=OPqD1QYSHvmiglwojsxZRfhDnZ8VFUIA> Take a stand for farmers» Call on Agriculture Secretary Vilsack to stop the pipeline of next generation GE seeds, and take a stand for farming communities across the country. The first step? Rejecting Dow's 2,4-D corn. The Big 6 are intent on maintaining and expanding their control of our food and farming, introducing one GE crop after another in a pipeline of untested products that drive the pesticide market. Join us in saying, âNo more!â Thank you.
