I thought that some people might be surprised to learn that not all of the biocides are used to kill pests. In this photo you can see how one salad mix farm, Pride Of San Juan, is spraying acres of salad greens with herbicide to kill them before they produce more vegetative matter that will have to be digested by the soil. A typical organic farmer welcomes organic matter into the soil and shuns the introduction of more herbicides into the environment, but Pride is proud to not be organic and their growing practices reflect their values. Pride Of San Juan’s salad greens can be purchased from Natural Selection, the company that made the front pages with their spinach products this summer.
