If you are on the side that believes there is a big loss in yield from growing organic than you have spent way more time talking and giving opinions than doing field walks or research. I farmed organic corn and beans for a number of years. Some years I did quite well, some years it was a total bust. I can tell you this,, Some farmers have BETTER yields than their conventional neighbors. The real difference is in the ground and experience. There is a huge learning curve, and you need patience. Not all ground is suited for this practice. I had trouble with to much rain on flat heavy wet soil. Hard to rotary hoe or run a tine weeder in mud. If you have to wait a week to get on the ground the weeds will win. (poor yield) Loamy rolling hills work well from what I have seen. If you cant do a good job farming with chemicals, you will never do well organically. I have been on Organic Farms that have great soil, and great yields. Much better than I have done by spraying. Before you run down someone, or their practice try to remember, this is a very large country. If someone does poorly farming in YOUR neighborhood someone else might do way better in a different place. Unless you have traveled thousands of miles to other areas to do farm tours than you can only give half Azzed opinions. Just look around , some guys are doing really well. And they might even be making money. Al

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
