Dick Marron said "It's a dirty little secret that 2/3 of all pesticides
produced go to
non-farm use."

That is an astounding statement.  Can you tell us more?  For example, are
export sales counted as 'non farm'?  How about use for grain silos and other
storage areas; are they 'non farm'?

I can only think of two other major uses that might be non-farm, residence
and pest control.  While pest control is probably very large, it is hard to
think of others that might add up to 2/3rds of all use.
