Exactly what do they call agricultural chemicals? Fertilizer, pesticide, chicken poo? With 8 tons, was it a feed store or someone’s barn? I’m having a hard time believing much of the media now days especially when they sensationalize a couple guns as a cache of ammo.

It works for me! Takes me to a google translation page that stays blank for just a second, but does say “translating” in the border. Then it loads.

FWI, some “agricultural chemicals”, such as the commonly used Parathion, an organophosphate, are extremely lethal. Less than .1 ounce can make you sick, and it doesn’t take a lot more Parathion to kill you than does Sarin gas. It is basically nerve gas for bugs.

Some of the more dangerous chemicals are: Aldrin (lethal dose for humans 5 grams), Hexachlorobenzene, Dieldrin, and others that release dangerous fumes containing dioxin and furans when burned.
