Coca-Cola "Harmonizes" Diabetes + Codex Food Laws by YourEnchantedGardener .....
Current Legislation The Food Safety Modernization Act S. 510 legislates Codex Alimentarius Food Rules at the level of Us Law. This Blog, written in the summer, was written when I was on the trail of US BILL HR #2749. #2749 passed the House in a few days without much public awareness. This Blog pieces together some info about the Codex Alimentarius Commission, FDA, Michael R. Taylor, and other related themes.

MR MICHAEL TAYLOR UPDATES US ON CODEX
ALIMENTARIUS IN HIS TESTIMONY JULY 29
In addition, FDA is leading an effort
through the Codex Alimentarius Commission,
the international food safety standards body,
with support of the Food and Agriculture OrganzationlWorld Health Organization, to develop commodity-specific annexes
to the Codex hygienic code for fresh fruit and vegetable production,
starting with an annex for fresh leafy
vegetables and herbs.
In June 2009, FDA conducted the first Codex international
elechonic working group with members of the Codex Committee
on Food Hygiene (CCFÐ)
to advance the drafr Annex
for Fresh Leafy Vegetables
to the next stage of completion. In November 2009,
CCFH will consider how to proceed
with the next tier of priority commodities."

4 July 2005 - The Codex Alimentarius Commission has voted to adopt potentially restrictive guidelines for vitamin and mineral supplements proposed by the Codex Nutrition Committee. In its 28th session here in sun dried, heat plagued Rome, the planet's supreme food regulator has given a nod to industry in approving guidelines for food supplements over the strenuous opposition of consumer representatives.

INDUSTRY INFLUENCE ON CODEX
For all intents and purposes,
Codex Alimentarius unites
over 150 accredited industry and other interest groups
with an even larger number of national health authorities
to make the rules for a globalized society
where corporations have free reign
and what they like to call a "level playing field".
But the playing field they construct
is so restricted by red tape and the level parts
are so completely occupied by corporate interests
that anything smaller than a multinational falls off the edges
into commercial insignificance.
While at the Commission meeting,
the presence of industry is somewhat muted,
most of what is approved in the yearly plenary session
has been discussed and elaborated in committee meetings
during the last twelve months.
Actual examples from this year's crop of proposals,
all of them passed without much discussion, are:
"Maximum Levels for Tin in Canned Foods
and in Canned Beverages"
"Proposed draft Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides"
"Draft MRLs [Maximum Residue Limits]
for Bovine Somatotropin"
Somatotropin of course is growth hormone,
including Monsanto's infamous rBGH, t
he synthetic "recombinant bovine growth hormone" ....
no country will be able to refuse
the milk from growth hormone
treated cows without risking trade sanctions.

Betty
Subject: Re: Another Aspartame Death
Dear Betty,
My wife wrote to you last year (Kelli Motluck). She told you her
story about her use of aspartame and the subsequent onset of brain tumors.
She died on April 21, 1998 at the age of 37. She left behind a
grieving husband and an eight year old daughter. Our lives will never be the same.
Tonight, the Chicago NBC affiliate ran a story on the ten o'clock
newsabout the controversy surrounding aspartame. A spokesman for Monsanto spewedtheir garbage about aspartame's safety and the like. Fortunately, the reporter also mentioned that every report which showed aspartame as being safe to use was funded directly by Monsanto. Quite a coincidence. The FDAr efused to commentwhich is no surprise either.
I would never want anyone to go through what my wife and family did
because of aspartame.
Betty, keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Mark Motluck

HARVARD LINKS SOFT DRINKS
and DIABETES
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5807399/#storyContinued
The soft drink study, which appears in Tuesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association, involved an analysis of data from a continuing health study of 51,603 female nurses.
Researchers analyzed surveys filled out by the nurses in 1991, 1995 and 1999 detailing their eating habits, weight, physical activity and other health issues. There were 741 new cases of type 2 diabetes during the span.
Researchers found that women drinking one or more sugar-sweetened soft drinks a day were twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who drank fewer than one a month. Even when they considered such factors as weight, diet and lifestyle differences, the researchers still found that women drinking sugary sodas were 1.3 times as likely to develop diabetes.

The Commission accepted an offer by the Government of the United Kingdom to prepare a background paper on soft drinks for consideration and possible further action by the Commission at its next session. The Commission decided not to give further consideration for the time being to the question of standards for beer.

http://www.thenhf.com/newsletters/letter_11/11_02.html
Two hats: One, the delegation attends the meetings as a member country; and, Two, the U.S. delegation also is the head of the working group. If U.S. citizens want to submit written comments to the FDA for its consideration and possible incorporation into its position taken at these Codex meetings, then they may do so. But there are two catches: (1) Given past experience, it will largely be a waste of time as we have never seen the FDA influenced at Codex by these kinds of comments; and (2) due to a lack of resources, the U.S. delegation itself will not be submitting any written comments to the EWG by the September 15th deadline, as confirmed by NHF’s recent discussion with one of the official FDA delegates to this Codex Committee. This brings us back to the point made above that your best bet for making submissions will be to let us at the NHF know what arguments you think we should make so that they can be incorporated into our NHF position paper.

MEETING KING CORN
about another hero of mine
EARL BUTZ, the COMMIssioner OF AG
http://www.culinate.com/articles/opinion/meeting_king_corn
FROM WIKIPEDIA
In 1971, President Richard Nixon appointed Butz as Secretary of Agriculture, a position in which he continued to serve after Nixon resigned as the result of the Watergate scandal in 1974. In his time heading the USDA, Butz revolutionized federal agricultural policy and reengineered many New Deal era farm support programs. His mantra to farmers was "get big or get out," and he urged farmers to plant commodity crops like corn "from fencerow to fencerow." These policy shifts coincided with the rise of major agribusiness corporations, and the declining financial stability of the small family farm.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Butz
EARL BUTZ's RACIST JOKE
THAT CAUSED HIM TO RESIGN
HIS POST
Scandals and resignation
At the 1974 World Food Conference in Rome, Butz made fun of Pope Paul VI's opposition to "population control" by quipping, in a mock Italian accent: "He no playa the game, he no maka the rules."[2]
A spokesman for Cardinal Cooke of the New York archdiocese demanded an apology, and the White House [2] requested that he apologize.[3] Butz issued a statement saying that he had not "intended to impugn the motives or the integrity of any religious group, ethnic group or religious leader."[2]
Butz resigned his cabinet post on October 4, 1976 after a second gaffe. News outlets revealed a racist remark he made in front of entertainer Pat Boone and former White House counsel John Dean while aboard a commercial flight to California following the Republican National Convention. The October 18, 1976 issue of Time reported the comment while obscuring its vulgarity:[4]
Butz started by telling a dirty joke involving intercourse between a dog and a skunk. When the conversation turned to politics, Boone, a right-wing Republican, asked Butz why the party of Lincoln was not able to attract more blacks. The Secretary responded with a line so obscene and insulting to blacks that it forced him out of the Cabinet last week and jolted the whole Ford campaign. Butz said that "the only thing the coloreds are looking for in life are tight p - - - - , loose shoes and a warm place to s - - -."
After some indecision, Dean used the line in Rolling Stone, attributing it to an unnamed Cabinet officer. But New Times magazine enterprisingly sleuthed out Butz's identity by checking the itineraries of all Cabinet members.
In any case, according to the Washington Post, anyone familiar with Beltway politics could "have not the tiniest doubt in your mind as to which cabinet officer" uttered it.[3]
While the Associated Press sent the uncensored joke over the wire, the Columbia Journalism Review claims that only two newspapers — the Toledo Blade (Toledo, Ohio) and the Madison Capital Times (Madison, Wisconsin) — published the remark unchanged. Others bowdlerized the quote, in some cases replacing the female genital reference with "a tight [obscenity]" and the scatalogical reference with "a warm place to [vulgarism]". The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal said the original statement was available in the newspaper office; more than 200 stopped by to read it. The San Diego Evening Tribune offered to mail a copy of the whole quotation to anyone who requested it; more than 3,000 readers did.
According to Timothy Noah of Slate, this incident was "epochal" because before this, politicians assumed such offensive remarks could be uttered safely in private; after Butz's resignation, politicians "could no longer assume your fellow whites would protect you for telling a joke insulting to blacks, and you could no longer assume your fellow blacks would protect you for telling a joke insulting to Jews."[5]
The infamous quote was the origin of the movie title Loose Shoes which includes a skit "Darktown After Dark". In it, the quote is put to music in a lavish Big Band number.

It's going to come down to a massive rebellion. The DSHEA law that kept the FDA off our backs was passed because millions and millions of letters were sent to people in Congress demanding health freedom. International Advocates for Health Freedom website has a "take action" page.
Think buying organic will help you? Well, not as much as you think, because the U.S. currently allows for up to 10% of GMO contamination of organic foods (the highest of any country in the world, most permit 0.1%).
If you really want to make a difference: support local organic Farmers, Grow your own Food, and of course;Watch: "How Cuba Survived Peak Oil"

4. PASS THE HEALTH FREEDOM PROTECTION ACT
Read "The Growing Threats to DSHEA" by Paul Anthony Taylor. By passing this bill, we can stop the FDA from blocking the making of truthful health claims on foods and dietary supplements. We can also make it harder for Congress to cave in to pressures to harmonize our dietary supplement laws to restrictive codex standards.

FDA and CODEX
http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/us/growing_threats.html
FDA has been a strong supporter of, and participant in, the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex). Codex is an international standards-setting organization for food safety composed of national governments from more than 150 countries. The work of Codex is increasingly important with the recognition of Codex as the relevant international standards-setting body for food safety in the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) resulting from the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. Since its inception, Codex has developed in excess of 200 Commodity Standards, more than 40 codes and guidelines, about 2,500 pesticide/commodity maximum limits, and has reviewed the safety of over 500 food additives and contaminants. FDA, through its participation on most Codex Committees, provides scientific and regulatory expertise and forcefully presents U.S. views at the committee meetings.
Nutrient Risk Assassment Project
Because the FAO and the WHO are the joint administrators of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the results of their nutrient risk assessment project are expected to be very influential upon the maximum levels to be recommended by Codex in connection with the Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements.

http://curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=1465607
Approximately 500 people, representing 125 countries, participated in the Commission meetings. Karen Hulebak of the United States of America was re-elected Chairperson; Knud Østergaard of Denmark, Sanjay Dave of India and Ben Manyindo of Nigeria were re-elected Vice-Chairpersons.
The Codex Alimentarius Commission, jointly established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and WHO, develops international food standards that protect the health of consumers and ensure fair trade practices in the food trade. The Commission has 181 Member States and one member organization, the European Community.

FDA GOES AFTER CHERRY FARMER
I mean come on, who is the FDA protecting here in this case?
Are they saving us from the evil cherry growers?
Are they making sure nobody even tries the cherry remedy because cherries are dangerous?
Or are they afraid that if people think cherries can help they might not spend the 400$ a month on paxil and buy 40$ worth of cherries instead?
Do you guys really want to defend the FDA here?
INTERESTED QUOTE
There is an international agreement drafted by Big Pharma and the World Trade Organization called Codex Alimentarius. It is scheduled to be LEGALLY BINDING in all WTO-affiliated countries on December 31, 2009. The goal of Codex Alimentarius is to criminalize ALL healthy alternatives to Big Pharma and Big Food WORLD WIDE.
Codex is already being used in Europe to price vitamin and mineral supplements out of the reach of consumers. It will also be used to put limits on the amount of vitamins and minerals you will be allowed to intake from fruits and vegetables. How can the global population expect to remain healthy when their vitamins and minerals are being banned? It's because Codex will be used to MURDER people world-wide without any recourse against the corporate fascists murdering the people on behalf of the New World Order.
To get this criminal eugenics agenda legalized in the United States, the global elite must put their puppets into power in order to put it in place. That is why Hillary Clinton WILL be the next President of the United States.
After Clinton gets into power, she will need somebody affiliated with Codex Alimentarius to head the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). That is why I am predicting that Michael F. Jacobson, currently the chief of the Orwellian-named Center for Science in the Public Interest, will be Clinton's FDA chief.
Just think of all the criminal actions that Jacobson and the CSPI have OPENLY committed ever since its inception in 1971:
* In 1984, the CSPI urged the fast-food industry to switch its frying oils from animal fats to trans fats. Even with mounting evidence that trans fats were dangerous to Americans' health, the CSPI whitewashed the inherent health risks of trans fats in a 1987 Nutrition Action newsletter article written by Elaine Blume. Six years in 1993, the CSPI "miraculously" did a 180 and called for trans fats to be banned.
* For many years, the CSPI has praised neurotoxic chemical sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose while at the same time denouncing Stevia, a NATURAL sugar substitute, as "dangerous". You can never have too much doublespeak and doublethink from the CSPI.

The safety of all ingredients used in the products of The Coca-Cola Company--including aspartame--has been established, and the use of these ingredients complies with relevant regulations in all countries where our products are sold.
Prior to its approval, aspartame underwent one of the most thorough scientific reviews ever conducted. National and international regulatory bodies consider it one of the most widely tested ingredients in the food supply, and more than 90 nations worldwide have approved aspartame for use. It is used widely in countries such as the U.S., the European Union, and Japan.

1981 Aspartame was invented by the G D Searle Co. acquired by Monsanto in 1985. For 16 years FDA refused to approve it until 1981 when Commissioner Arthur Hayes overruled the objections of a Public Board of Inquiry and the protests of the American Soft Drink Association and blessed it. The tests submitted by Searle were so bad the Department of Justice, initiated prosecution of Searle for fraud. Then the defense lawyers hired the prosecutors, Sam Skinner and Wm. Conlon, and the case expired when the statute of limitations ran out. Aspartame/Nutrasweet, a toxin that blinds, drops intelligence, eradicates memory, grows brain tumors and other cancers, brings fatigue. Depression, ADD, panic, rage, paranoia, diabetes, seizures, suicide and death. This toxin is supported by unlimited advertising and the manufacturers pay off the American Diatetics Association, the American Diabetics Association, the AMA, and whomever else, to convince us its safe as rain. These lies are backed by a Federal Bureaucracy knowing it may kill your child, but the bureaucrat who approved the poison got a fat job as have many of his successors. Suppose this government watchdog, ignoring thousands of consumer complaints, has become an Attack Dog protecting corporate corruption. This is the bitter reality of Aspartame/Nutrasweet, Monsanto, the FDA, Coca Cola, Pepsi, and the hundreds of food, drink and drug makers who add to their products a known poison Conceived in Fraud and Dedicated to the Proposition that Profit is all that Matters!

The American Diabetes Association has stated that aspartame is a safe sugar substitute and can be included in a diabetic meal plan. In fact, there is no question that aspartame has been beneficial to people with diabetes. It has allowed them to consume a diet that is healthful and still enjoy the sweet foods those without diabetes take for granted.

THIS ONE DESERVES MORE ATTENTION
I was GOOGLING
Rolf Grossklaus, the head of the German Institute for Risk Evaluation
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=404947634&bl...
1) Started in 1962 by UN, Imposed by WTO Sanctions
Codex Alimentarius was created in 1962 as a trade Commission by the UN to control the international trade of food. Its initial intentions may have been altruistic but it has been taken over by corporate interests, most notably the pharmaceutical, pesticide, biotechnology and chemical industries.
Codex Alimentarius is backed up by the crippling trade sanctions of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Any non Codex-compliant nation would face huge economic punishment since they would automatically lose in any food-trade dispute with a Codex compliant country.
2) “Nutrients are Toxins” Is Junk Science
Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) has two committees which impact nutrition.
One of them, the “Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses” (CCNFSDU), is chaired by Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, a physician who believes that nutrition has no role in health. This is the “top-guy” for Codex nutritional policy, and he has stated that “nutrition is not relevant to health”.
As unbelievable as it may sound, Dr. Grossklaus actually declared nutrients to be toxins in 1994 and instituted the use of toxicology (Risk Assessment) to prevent nutrients from having any impact on humans who take supplements! It is worth mentioning that Dr. Grossklaus happens to own the Risk Assessment company advising CCNFSDU and Codex on this issue. This company makes money when its toxicology services are used for the “assessment” of nutrients. Here in the U.S. we call that a “conflict of interest”.
Codex is made up of thousands of standards and guidelines. One of them, the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (VMG), is designed to permit only ultra low doses of vitamins and minerals (and make clinically effective nutrients illegal). How can the VMG restrict dosages of vitamins and minerals? By using Risk Assessment (toxicology) to assess nutrients.
While Risk Assessment is a legitimate science (it is a branch of toxicology), it is the wrong science for assessing nutrients! In fact, in this context, it is actually junk science. Biochemistry, the science of life processes, is the correct science for assessing nutrients. Codex Alimentarius treats nutrients as toxins, which is literally insane.
Nutrients are not toxins - they are essential for life.
No matter what Codex Alimentarius officials say to convince you that Risk Assessment is a “science-based” approach to nutrients, it is not.
And it is worth repeating that Dr. Grossklaus, the head of Codex Alimentarius, owns the Risk Assessment company advising CCNFSDU and Codex on the “benefit” of using Risk Assessment to assess nutrients.

FROM A REVIEW OF SCOTT TIPS BOOK
ON CODEX
For Americans, who have always looked at the UN as a place to allow representatives of Third World countries to speak out about world affairs, and often condemn American imperialism, the idea that some obscure commission might create rules that would, in effect, force us to follow some German government official’s radical ideas about the dangers of vitamins, was barely believable. After all, for generations, America has more or less thumbed its nose at various UN protocols and other edicts.
This issue had been raised earlier by John Hammell in his September 1996 Life Extension Magazine article (included in Scott’s book), and Codex officials kept on insisting that their conclusions were not binding, just “guidelines.” But while they may have been just “guidelines” before the passage of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1994 - with the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as part of that agreement (which included the establishment of a new world court to settle trade disputes), this new legal authority gave any country in the WTO the right to drag America to the World Court if that country decided it had a trade dispute over how we regulated our dietary supplements.
So, in 2004, Suzanne Walter, president of the American Holistic Health Association, who had been attending Codex meetings with press credentials for years, provided official Codex and WTO documents to the health freedom group showing that the World Trade Organization was, indeed, able to determine how the “guidelines” would be applied under international law. With this evidence in hand, the need to force the issue out in the open
As described in detail in Scott’s article “A Meeting of Two” covering the November 2004 meeting in Bonn, several delegations made their move to clear up the issue once and for all. Using Codex’s own procedural rules, both the South African and Tanzanian delegations, as well as Scott’s group, formally asked the Chairman to specify if the “guidelines” were to be presented as optional or mandatory to the delegates. Grossklaus deferred to the Codex Secretariat who told Scott and the others very firmly, that they were definitely optional. When the two national delegations, using proper Codex procedures, asked that this information be inserted into the “guidelines” to provide a written record of this affirmation, both the European Union and the U.S. objected, saying it was unnecessary. The South African delegation then asked that its request for having such a written notation be included in the final Report of the Meeting. Finally, on the last day of the meeting when the draft report was read and no such notation was included, Scott asked the Chairman to please include it also, noting that both the National Health Federation and the South African delegation had made the request. Grossklaus refused, in a stunning violation of Codex’s own procedural manual. Scott noted in his article that this had been one of many refusals which rendered the final report to be “inaccurate, untruthful, and one that cannot be trusted.”
As alarming as Scott’s account of the November 2004 meeting was (in his article entitled, “A Meeting of Two”), other disturbing accounts repeated by several eyewitnesses, included stories about how our own FDA delegates made no attempt to defend our Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). DSHEA was passed unanimously by Congress in 1994 to allow access for all American citizens to dietary supplements, defining them as food, and stating specifically that they are to be regulated as food and not toxic drugs. With our own FDA delegates unwilling to provide forceful protection of our interests by even explaining to the rest of the delegates that these products are legally-defined in the U.S. as food, and not toxic drugs, many delegates from other countries had no idea that Americans have ready over-the-counter access to these products and consume them at perfectly safe high dosage levels at every meal.
at a Codex meeting was now essential.
Reading Scott’s book was, in some ways, like reading someone’s diary, as the authors of these articles elaborately critiqued what they observed, and often tried to educate their readers about mind-numbing debates on technical details that might effect them, as well as emphasizing the bizarre way the meetings were run.

BEFORE THE LEAFY GREEN AGREEMENTS
HEARING
http://groc.edgeboss.net/download/groc/domesticpolicy/testimony.of.mr.michael...
Most produce is grown in an outdoor environment,
and it is susceptible to contamination from
pathogens that may be present in the soil,
in agricultural water or water used for postharvest
practices (e.g., washing or cooling), in
manure used as fertilizer, or due to the presence
ofanimals in or near fields or packing areas. Produce
also may be vulnerable to contamination
due to inadequate worker health and hygiene protections,
environmental conditions, inadequate
production safeguards, or inadequate sanitation
of equipment and facilities. Fresh produce is
produced on tens of thousands of farms, and
contamination at any one step in the growing,
packing, and processing chain can
be amplified throughout the subsequent
steps.
MR MICHAEL TAYLOR UPDATES US ON CODEX
ALIMENTARIUS IN HIS TESTIMONY JULY 29
In addition, FDA is leading an effort
through the Codex Alimentarius Commission,
the international food safety standards body,
with support of the Food and Agriculture OrganzationlWorld Health Organization, to develop commodity-specific annexes
to the Codex hygienic code for fresh fruit and vegetable production,
starting with an annex for fresh leafy
vegetables and herbs.
In June 2009, FDA conducted the first Codex international
elechonic working group with members of the Codex Committee
on Food Hygiene (CCFÐ to advance the drafr Annex for Fresh Leafy Vegetables to the next stage of completion. In November 2009,
CCFH will consider how to proceed
with the next tier of priority commodities.

Elissa Meininger became a noted health policy historian as well as a political activist after almost dying from years of mercury poisoning caused by mercury leaching from the "silver" dental amalgam fillings in her teeth. Bedridden and unable to carry on a coherent conversation, (and unable to obtain a diagnosis from any of the MDs she had consulted), she turned to a traditional naturopath who had no difficulty recognizing and explaining the source of the large array of chronic problems from which she had suffered most of her life. This diagnosis saved her life, but even today, such consultation remains illegal in many states.
Committed to reforming the medical system, Elissa embarked over 20 years ago on an array of projects geared to bringing enlightened medical treatment to the American people, including providing prepared statements for various U.S. Congressional and White House Commission hearings on health freedom legislation and policy, and testifying numerous times before the Oklahoma state legislature.
She is the former Vice President of Friends of Freedom International and co-columnist, with Carolyn Dean, M.D./N.D., of many articles posted on the NewsWithViews.com.
Currently, Elissa's health freedom political commentary can be heard on the natural health radio show SuperHealth, broadcast twice weekly on FoxSportsRadio 1340 AM in Oklahoma City and on the internet.

KUDUS FOR MANSANTO

Glyphosate holds an elite position among honored technologies.
John Franz, the Monsanto scientist who first identified the herbicidal activity
of glyphosate, received the National Medal of Technology,
the highest honor for technical achievement.
In 1987, at which time the original Roundup(R) agricultural herbicide was
recognized for its impact “upon the production of
agricultural food and fiber as as agricultural practices throughout the world.”
Very vew agricultural technologies have won the nation’s technology award.
In 1996, Monsanto received the Presidential Award for Sustainable Developement.
The White House recognized Monsanta for “pioneering sustainable technologies,”
which included the development of such products as the original Roundup
herbicide. Also in 1996, Monsanto received the Presidential Green Chemistry
Challenge Award for environonmental responsible systems used in the
manufacture of glyphosate herbacides.
In addition, Farm Chemicals magazine in its September 1994 100th anniversary edition, called the original Roundup (R) hebicide one of the “Top 10 Products That Changed the Face of Agriculture.” That designation was based in large measure on the fact that Roundup agricultural herbicides enables and encourage the practice of conservation tillage. Their broad-spectrum effectiveness allows farmers to control weeds with milimal tillage. This conserves valuable topsoil, reduces runoff into streams and reduces trips across farm fields, conserving time and fuel.
