I have a friend living in Hood River, OR who is outside a lot working with a

how it's affecting everything around that area. Does anyone know what they
spray or any other pertinent information I can give him?

Thanks~

See the movie "Broken Limbs"; also "Dirt" and "The Real Dirt On Farmer John".

probably lots of herbicide, insecticide and fungicide/bactericide
commonly used in conventional fruit agriculture
easy to find out through Google

OT: I noticed that Firefox is persistently pushing users to upgrade to Firefox 5 when Firefox 4 was only recently released - the new version 5
is not compatible with Google Toolbar For Firefox, more than likely their reason for the up(down)grade. You can still "pin" webapps to the browser command line.
Does anyone know how to go back to FF 4 from a FF5 upgrade?
