rockyridgefarm It irks me when you organic farmers run around telling stories about how good/great your ORGANIC Stuff is and conventional farm products are all garbage, when it has never been proven in any kind of scientific study or test. Sell your product directly against mine but do not run mine down just to promote your product. If your organic product is so superior than the market would soon cause a supply and demand for more an more of it.
The second there is any kind of economic recession the average consumer quickly decides conventional is Ok again.
As for the facts of the matter. If the world food production would go all organic there is no way to feed the 4+ Billion people on this planet. So who get to choose those that do not get to eat????? You would not even have to go to full organic 50% would do it.
As for whether or not your a serious farmer, size does not have anything to do with it. If you read my reply to David you see I clearly state that the majority of the organic farmers I know, that are successful, are because of good management not organic. Organic just makes it possible to make a smaller farm work because of the higher prices. The second organic supply increases or demand drops either would cause a price drop, then organic producers will be in for tough times too.
Conventional farming has become a high volume low price market. We are on the small side of making that work. Over 50% of the acres my sons run over are custom farming acres. That is how they can be farmers in today's farm economic reality.
So do not denigrate my product and I will not denigrate your production/marketing practices.
It just seems to me the organic crowd likes to play the organic is king card when that is not the entire truth.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. 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.
