I would like you to under stand when a field is cut into a triangle or any thing but a rectangle or a square one of the farmers childern will have to ride the planter to scoope the sead out of the way to narrow the area of what is being planted some where there may be a comuterized planter that does it on its own but let me tell ya if they have it it may only be 1% of the farmers out there because it would be more expensive than the whole farm. So what im saying is our children will have to ride the drill and they will be covered in dust and get black lung they also will inhale the coating of chemicals that is put on the seed future genorations of farmers will die from cancer and there will be less farmers for the future also alot will be killed from falling off the equiment and be run over and be exposed to the sun for too many hours causing skin cancer...if you say well wear sun screen...that is laughable because it would work like egg yolk before shake n bake and would coat them with dirt..I know this first hand I have had to ride the drill to plant wheat. So if any of the feilds are any thing but square or rectangle please picture the kids and wives and farmers riding behind this dusty and im not talking a little dust im talking inches of it by the end of the day please dont do this to us please cause this plan to have to make partners with the railways already there for all our field there is tracks with in a mile or half a mile please use them. Thank you if you cant tell I am apposed to the GLB as planed thank you for your time.
