forced pesticide spray threatens Sonoma organics
online article published at bohemian.com re glassy-winged sharpshooter. Note also Sonoma County's "right to farm" law = "we spray, you shut up and take it")
Vine pest control may threaten organic farms
By Shepherd Bliss
THE Growing No Spray movement considers the Nov. 7 approval of forced pesticide spraying to control the glassy-winged sharpshooter by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors to be a declaration of war. Though the target is a tiny insect that can damage grapevines, blanket spraying would harm all insects, many animals, organic gardens and farms, and public health.
