From your own post-

Two million farm workers, and three million farmers and their

families, form a large occupational group exposed to toxic

chemicals.[4] Farmers are a relatively healthy group. For any

given age, farmers have a low overall mortality rate, indicating

general good health. Compared to the general public, farmers

have lower risk for ischemic heart disease [narrowing of the

coronary arteries], and for all causes of cancer combined.[5]

Farmers also have lower risks for cancers of the lung, esophagus,

bladder, colon, liver, and kidney.

Right now my beans should produce a crop worth $52,000. Mites have invaded and could reduce that crop to zero. Should I spray at a cost of $1,000 or let the mites eat the crop knowing you'll make up my loss? They got sprayed today. I'm not an idiot.
