Some of you guys are full of the output of a bull.
My land has been farmed 100% organic for 30+ years. My brothers as well. There is no extra of anything hauled from neighbors to replace nutrients. This year my brother planted 90% of his farm in beans. Average yield on 400 acres was 1560 LBS per acre. My flax went 15bushel per acre cleaned. Average oats on 10 years is 42 bushels /acre at $5-$7 a bushel beans right now $0.75 a lbs. flax $32 a bushel. we are certified have cows, sheep, hay, and summer fallow and plow down alfalfa or buckwheat every 5-7 years. My uncle is not certified and 25 years ago he quit buying spray and fertilizer as he was almost bankrupt. He sold all his crop conventionally and got out of the hole and retired 2 years ago. These are sustainable and organic farms. You can have sustainable non organic farms which means the farm is using practises that will keep it going weather the price of grain, cattle or whatever goes up or down. Farms that think there is no end to how much chemical they can dump on will some day collapse because the yield and price of crop will be less than the input costs.
Farming organic is really healthy on the brain as you don't get very far in debt , if at all, and don't have the stress.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
