Like tiny soldiers standing at attention, endless rows of cotton plants have risen up out the Earth, ready to serve the farmer. The chemically engineered plants, like sci-fi heroes, have been well equipped to resist the ever present armies of insects for the time being. The real war in this field will be fought against the curse of thorns and thistles that has been on the ground since the dawn of time. The war on weeds begins with an aeriel attack. The farmer flies through the field on his trusty tractor with a hooded sprayer in tow assuring that all the chemicals fall exactly where they're needed most. Instantly, it seems the weeds begin to wilt in the mid-day heat. But will it be enough to assure victory?
Only time will tell the outcome of the first battle, but plans are already being drawn up for the next attack, because this is a fight to the death....
