The Midwest Anti-Drift Coalition
Not just for Midwesterners...

Ericka Dana, certified organic farmer and safe-food activist, has begun a
national network based in Iowa called The Midwest Anti-Drift Coalition
(MADCO) as a resource and support group for anyone who is concerned with
pesticide contamination. This group includes farmers, home gardeners, drift
survivors, chemically sensitive people, prairie preservationists, those with
environmental illness, consumers who don't want pesticides in or on their
food & parents who don't want their children exposed to toxic chemicals in
schools or on the ground where they play. Why is a national network entitled
"Midwest"?  Dana says, "Two reasons - I like the acronym and the group began
here in Iowa - but MADCO will encompass all aspects of the pesticide
exposure issue and include all regions of the US (& beyond)."
If you'd like to be included on the contact list, sign up by writing to

Ericka at <doodles AT netins.net> or Catnip Farm, PO Box 72, Victor, IA 52347.
The MADCO resource website, www.StopDrift.org, is under construction.
