As SuperPests & SuperWeeds grow more resistant to Chemicals, the Use of these Chemicals will increase. We The People hold these Corporations Accountable for Environmental Crimes. Meantime, there are Sustainable Farming Methods which eliminate the use of these chemicals:

The Killing Fields: Industrial Agriculture, Dead Zones and Genetically Engineered Corn.
“The Gulf dead zone is an annual occurrence caused mainly by fertilizer runoff in the Mississippi River watershed. Nitrogen from fertilizers seeps into local waterways and then the Mississippi River, and makes its way south into the Gulf, where it promotes dense algae growth on the sea floor. When the algae die at the end of the season, the decomposition sucks up much of the available oxygen, making the bottom waters uninhabitable to animals. According to researchers, 153,000 metric tons of nutrients, most from chemical fertilizers, flowed in to the Gulf in May alone… Misguided U.S. agricultural policy is driving historically high levels of corn cultivation through massive support for ethanol production. GE corn is facilitating this misguided policy by making it possible to grow corn-on-corn, but only at the cost of rootworm resistance and increased use of toxic chemical insecticides and fungicides. Still worse, more corn means more fertilizers washing into the waterways, which in turn generate an ever-widening dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico.”
