I have mixed emotions on organic food and farming but with that said I have the upmost respect for those who do take the plunge and farm organic. They are not taking the easy road and now we have been seeing some of the practices from organic merging into conventional such as cover crops. Although they are nothing new there has been a resurgence and proof that they are a viable option for farming and does cut down on the need for chemicals in crop ground.
In my experiences in organic food tasting better is because most of the time the food is grown/processed in smaller operations where there is more care attention to quality over quantity. Meat is going to taste better out of a locker vs a packing plant, vegetables are going to taste better out of a garden vs a large vegetable farm where the plant has been bred to be shipped half way across the country. Also doctors will tell you to avoid processed foods more than anything.
I do try to buy local more than organic vs conventional. I want to keep the money here. Take a look and see who donates to the local church/school function, kids events or benefits? Its the local stores, businesses, farmers that do that. I never see where Walmart or Amazon has donated to any such things.
But Im not going to bad mouth the BTO crop farmers or the little organic vegetable farmer. Were all agriculture and were all in this together.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
