Upland Brewing Company, 350 West 11th Street

On Wednesday, May 23 at 6 pm, Marti Crouch, a biologist specializing in interrelationships of agriculture and technology, will provide a presentation entitled “Going Backwards: What the New 2,4-D Resistant Crops Will Mean for Indiana’s Agriculture (And You).”

Folks in Northern Indiana have proposed renaming their region the “Giant Ragweed National Forest” now that this prominent weed has developed resistance to Roundup after widespread planting of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops. Dow AgroSciences, based in Indianapolis, has a “fix”: they have genetically engineered corn and soybeans to withstand higher doses of their old, iconic herbicide, 2,4-D. We’ll explore what the next generation of herbicide-resistant crops will mean for Indiana in this presentation.

Green Drinks Bloomington is held the 4th Wednesday of every month from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the Banquet Facility of the Upland Brewing Company. There’s a $5 suggested donation, some food will be provided. To receive a monthly reminder, write [email protected].

Cost: $5 donation suggested
