The thing is JD we don't feed the rest of the world. Heck we import food from Canada, Sount America and other places. If we could get the Africans to stop killing each other long enough to farm they could feed themselves.
And yea we could have most operations go over to organic and at least feed ourselves if CRP went away and every farm had enough livestock to put manure down.

We choose to use chemicals for weed control but there are ways around that but most farmers would not stand still for the crop loss and extra fuel needed to do that. I myself am using some chemicals but try to keep that at a minumum.
As far as I'm concerned school is still out on the GMO stuff. No one has proven 100% it's safe and no one has been able to show 100% it isn't safe. I'd rather my grand kids ate stuff I know for sure is 100% safe for the time being.
