Acres-Page 7 - Cow manure contains resistance genes:
Manure from dairy cows, which is commonly used as a farm soil fertilizer, contins a surprising number of newly identified antibiotic resistance (AR) genes from the cow's gut bacteria. The findings were reported in mBio hint that cow manure is a potential source of new types of antibiotic resistance genes that transfer to bacteria in the soils where food is grown.
GMO labeling - Page 7 - GMO labeling goes DARK
Legislation introduced by Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-Kansas) would block any federal or state action to require labeling of foods made with genetically engineered ingredients. ( This is being called the DARK act by critics, ( Denying Americans the Right to Know).
Stink bug traps may increase damage Page 8
Entomologists at the University of Maryland suggest that research using pheromone-baited traps designed to attract, trap and kill stink bugs may actually increase the damage to tomato plants. The bugs tended to rest on the plants near the traps and caused damage before entering the traps.
Twister touchdown linked to topography - Page 9
Areas where landscape switches from urban to rural or forest to farmland may have a higher likelihood of severe weather and touchdowns, based on a Purdue University study.

Toxic herbicide Glyphosate found in breast milk of American women. The finding contradicts industry claims that glyphosate does not accumulate in human tissue.

Beer Marinade Makes Grilled Meat Safer - Page 77
Black beer had the strongest effect reducing the levels of eight major PAHs (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons substances produced when meats are cooked at very high temperatures) by more than half compared to meat not marinated in beer.
Peaches Inhibit Breast Cancer Metastasis - Page 77
Research at TAMU Agrilife have shown that treatments with peach extract inhibit breast cancer metstasis in mice. Conclusion by Dr. Luis Cisneros Zevallos: the amount of extract given to mice calculated for humans would be the equivalent of consuming two to three peaches per day.
