Interview Questions:

2. Which, if any, do you still use?

3. How often are/were they applied?

4. If pesticide use has changed, why?

Finally, in your own words answer the following:
Questions you answer stating your own opinion:

5. Why do we look at the use of pesticides differently now than we did 50 years ago?

6. Do you think that pesticide use is an issue that citizens should be concerned about? Why or why not?
