We have a few organic farmers in our area. Several smaller ones that when you drive by their place you cannot tell the difference other than there are a few weeds in their fence lines where the neighbors don't have any fences or weeds.

They get pasture, ground ear corn, oats and alfalfa along with some minerals. They get any needed medicine but nothing extra. Im happy with quality over quantity and nothing over necessity. That's my opinion, we all have them and it takes all kind to make the world go round. With all this separation of groups of people Im blending in any crowd.
