A lot of the land here is worn out. This area was settled around 1800.I have watched organic farmers struggle to get a crop out of worn out pasture land.A neighbor plants a small amount of sweet corn every year.The stalks never get over 3 feet tall.He must wonder why my corn always runs 6 foot tall.I used to plant a few rows of field corn when I had cattle.It grew 10 feet tall,I have photos of it.I used 10 spreader loads per acre plus side dressing with triple 10.You can see the effect of poor land on large field corn plantings.The outside rows that didnt get fertilizer are always stunted.The early farmers were organic because chemicals were not available.A fellow I know has had a small garden for years that produced little.He used organic methods.I got him to buy a bag of 10 10 10 this year and told him how to use it.What a difference.The big problem is this You cant sell enough produce locally.You have to go to farmers markets.
