Therein lies the problem! Idiots who want to tell us farmers how to do our jobs, and take care of our soil and land, but haven't got the foggiest idea what it really take to produce enough food to feed the world. The only thing they know is that their way is right, and ours is wrong, and we farmers are so greedy that we don't care if we poison the very land that we depend on to make a living. In some cases, the same land our families have care for and passed on for generations (5 in my case), and want to pass on to future generations in better shape than when it was passed to us.
My guess is that most of these knuckleheads have office jobs, probably something tech related, and in all reality, don't produce any tangible product. Just ideas and theories. They think if it sounds good, and they can sell the idea to somebody just like them, it must work! You have to be able to think about it like a math problem. If you change any part of the equation, you change the outcome. The thing you have to remember is that there are so few farmers/ag workers left in America, that we don't even have a category listing on the U.S. Census forms any more. This means that we are now less than 2% of the population, yet we still produce enough food to feed BILLIONS of people.
I'm sure that most of us, myself included, would be glad to raise our crops organically, using no fertilizers or chemicals, just as soon as somebody figures out how to do it profitably, and still be able to feed the world's population. Yes, I said profitably. I'm sure you think that is a dirty word, but we have to eat too!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
