Abstract/Contents:"As urbanization increases, the potential for conflict between urban and agricultural interests grows. In Salem, OR, a 1989 Audubon Society report expressed concerns about pesticide use on agricultural lands that were part of Minto-Brown Island Park. The report recommended that the city of Salem ban the use of pesticides known to cause health or environmental damage. R. G. Andersen-Wyckoff, president of the Salem Parks Advisory Board, felt the issue could turn into a divisive conflict between farming and nonfarming interests in the Salem community. This case presents Andersen-Wyckoff's dilemma as he decided what action to take to alleviate tensions between environmental and agricultural concerns. By working through this case, students consider and discuss varying perceptions about pesticide use by farmers while evaluating data concerning pesticides. In addition to enhanced awareness of pesticides and controversy surrounding their use, students also gain appreciation of the need for improved communication between agricultural and nonagricultural interests."
