I applaud you for your commitment to a more sustainable approach to farming/agriculture and can see that you have experienced the benefits of moving beyond those time worn approaches of the past. However, before we proceed you may want to exchange profiles so we can determine if our discussion could be productive to either party. I am primarily a grassland farmer and don't sell into the commodity marketplace. I have developed a private market for grass-fed-finished organic beef and pork. I partner with a producer of ground scratching organically raised chickens. I don't participate in any government programs, including the staying away from cost sharing stuff from my local USDA soil and water folks. I suppose some folks would call me a libertarian of sorts. Some questions concerning your understanding of organic agriculture is in order due to your comments of significance. Please provide your understanding of the following: BRIX, Bt corn toxicity in ruminants, feeding the plant vs feeding the soil agriculture, is organic farming just the absence of chemicals?, glyphosate residue/concentrations in different soil types, glyphosate and other herbicides and the endocrine disruption syndrome in humans, glyphosate and spontaneous abortion in cattle. As an organic livestock farmer I see the world differently.. perhaps much differently than you... but then maybe not. However, I have also experienced the joys of returning health to chemically abused soils and have experienced the return of gulls .. following the plow.. to land that once didn't produce enough earthworms to attract them as I tilled under composted/rotted manure and a green manure crop. I'm not anti-science. As a graduate engineer I'm well aware of science's contributions to our welfare/wellbeing as a species. However, i've been trained as a skeptic as well..maybe it was all the philosophy classes... anyway, I just don't buy all the hype, especially when the almighty dollar is at stake. Be well
