It sounds like the crops are being sprayed with somehting making them die. One of those folks said they were finding a white residue all over everything. I wonder why this hasn't hit the national news yet? Seems to me losing crops in the bread basket is newsworthy.

LOL. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. He's coming out with a new movie "The Last Airbender". Looks interesting.

The Happening was a hilarious movie. Horrible acting.

Did anything come out about what caused this? All the comments were about inadvertant release of chemicals at a plant in Millington. Hmm, when I was at the NAS there in the '80s, I don't recall a DuPont plant there. There was nothing in Millington.
Just curious as to what caused it.
