  1. Agricultural Growers of America A non-profit organization representing more than 138,000 growers across America

  2. Serious Issues • Loss of insect environments causing lack of pollination. • Loss of bird and fish environments • Loss of agricultural crops • Effects on water tables and coastal regions • Approximately 8000 growers currently effected

  3. Insect Extinction • Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas

  4. Insect Extinction • Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas

  5. Insect Extinction • Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas • The birds depending on these insects are losing large numbers

  6. Insect Extinction • Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas • The birds depending on these insects are losing large numbers • Entire coastal areas are losing fish life near planted areas

  7. Agricultural Losses • Entire fields of crops are found withering on the vines

  8. Agricultural Losses • Entire fields of crops are found withering on the vines

  12. Effects on water tables • Water tables are becoming shallow and non-existent; wherever WWL Lawn Systems; because the root system of the WWL grass is almost non-existent

  13. Effects on water tables • NO root system causes entire fields to completely dry up
