A chemical equivalent of a nuclear bomb is not an appropriate weapon
in this battle.
That land around Quincy, WA was some very productive land. I knew
someone that owned 20000 acres there where the Columbia River
bends from the southeast to the south a little north and west of Quincy.
(They made a couple of million from sugar beets one year in the late
1970s when there was a sugar shortage.)
What do you think land around there is worth now? It is probably not
feeding nearly as many starving peasants anywhere as it did before
American corporate agriculture went to work on it. (This does not seem
"efficient" to me, and I would guess that the touted benefits of big ag for
underdeveloped countries are no more than corporate propaganda.)
So you are telling small farmers to work for multinational agricultural
corporations or be out of town by sundown?
