<<Wasn't it Dow chemical that made Agent Orange?

Edit after Google, Monsanto and several other companies along with Dow supplied agent orange.>>

Dow was the bad guy back in the 70s with the tie dyed crowd. Originally Agent Orange was developed to make soybeans drop their leaves earlier for easier harvest. The leaves clogged the combines and farmers reached in to clear the clogs and lost finger, hands and arms. The old batteries couldn't take too many shut offs and restarts. Now the new beans drop their leaves early.

I have coffee with a retired AF Colonel who was in charge of reloading the Agent Orange planes. The oily stuff dripped from the planes nozzles and everyone was coated with it, ate it and drank it. It was like a fog on the base. He still has contact with several people from the base and no unusual health problems.
