Organic is a niche market that has its place but if we where required to grow all the crops that way there would be a lot of hungry people and a bunch more soil down the river.
There seems to be several types in the organic farming business.
1) The guys losing money in conventional crops that see the high organic prices and jump on the wagon. These type usually fail because too many times they where poor managers in conventional framing. Organic requires you to be a better manager than even conventional so the bad managers soon fail completely when they go organic. Grow real big organic WEEDS LOL.
2) Those that treat organic like it is a religion. These type are real zealots and are real hard to take much of what they claim as truth. Usually have outside financial backing to make the thing work. They are almost never economically viable without the outside help. Kind of todays hippies.
3) The most successful ones have some common traits. They usually where real good managers when they where in conventional farming. They have good producing ground. Poor ground will kill you in organic farming real quick. They also usually have livestock in their operation. The organic dairy guys seem to do pretty well compared to the guys trying to just row crop grain farm. Have a fellow that is growing organic pork. He is really struggling because of high feed costs and the dry weather.
So you do what you want as far as what you do. I am not going to use it on my farm. I will use the newest technology I can prove economically feasible. The GMO corn and soybeans stood the drought this year much better than the crops we had in 1988.

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.
