For example, he discusses with students that many modern artificial pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, while helping with growing cycles in the short term, tremendously damage the soil in the long term.  On a research stop at an organic farm in <strong>Yorkshire, Ohio,<\/strong> Dan Kremer also explained to me that these toxins also get absorbed in the plants, and by extension, people consume them in their foods.  Our administration would create incentives for much more organic growing.
