We love farmers! Without them we would have no customers or food!
This is just one of the many reasons why Calcium Products supports the The American Cancer Society and has made a donation to the Relay for Life campaign.

Why Support the American Cancer Society?
According to "Cancer Incidence in the Agricultural Health Study – abstract
The overall cancer occurrence among farmers and their spouses in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) is significantly less than that expected compared to other men and women of the same age living in Iowa
However --
The risk of prostate cancer is significantly greater among farmers and commercial applicators. Female spouses had a significantly greater frequency of a serious type of skin cancer (i.e., melanoma) and female pesticide applicators had a significantly greater frequency of ovarian cancer.
