Organic crop production takes about 3 years to get your crops certified organic. Can be shorter if you have very good records proving you don't use chemicals on some acres; proving a negative is tough tho.
Raising organic critters is a little different, if you buy the organic grains a lot of your premium prices go to buying the specialty organic grains from others......
It's all kind of a pyramid scheme, rich folk can pitter around spending lots of money on food, and it's the fad to do organic food now. Maybe that trend will continue, maybe it will expand. Maybe it won't.
