Fwiw, looking at raw yield instead of quality yield is kind of backwards. Harder to research of course, but still important. For example, if I get high yields in my wheat crop, but have low protein, it's going to end up costing me money. If I get a high tonnage in potatoes, but lots of disease/other various issues, I don't end up having a good crop, I end up having a lot of product that I have to throw away.

Farmers are the root of our country.
The love of money/greed of bottom-line-at-all-costs bigcorp is the devil. (yes, I said it)

I protest (albeit a la Gamaface) the bad **** being introduced for "efficiencies"/money.

I also see the "organic" crowd getting in on the greed thing. The whole thing sickens me. All of it.

On one hand I am for the 'man' creating his way and g'ment staying out of it. On the other, it's disgusting what people/corps will do to get theirs.

What bad stuff are we introducing? I want to produce a quality product, I'm not able to do that on a large scale without chemicals. It's simple as that.

I will list the chemicals I disapprove of us in the next post. They are specific and I have concerns.. I don't blame 'you' for anything, at all. I think 'you' are the anchor of our country (no hyperbole). I'm talking BIG producers. Smithfield, i.e.

How do you know this to be 100% fact?

I don't. I should have said, as far as we know, with all of the studies that we have done, the chemicals are safe when used in the way prescribed on the label. That fair?

If we stop using these chemicals because we're afraid they might hurt us, agriculture will effectively collapse. The people most at risk are those applying it. People eating it have practically nothing to worry about.

There are ways to work around this, that farmers all over the world already do.



This is probably the real reason

This was the one post you made regarding organic seed. Same as always. “Ways around it, but I won’t specify.”

You claim you give specifics, but you rarely, if ever, do.

I actually would like to hear your response on what these ways are...since it is done around the world, by many farmers, you should have great data to pull from.

Both parents farmed for generations, grandfather had a farm until he passed away, I've probably participated in 3-4 harvests thus far in my life (organic ones). Farmers by and large don't give a ****.

Your implication of organic farming resulting in world hunger is simply an inaccurate one.

This is like me saying my mom is a nurse, my grandmother was a nurse, my sister is a doctor, and I’ve been to the doctor before...so I can definitively tell you about the whole industry.

But for sure dude, you know more about what farmers think than the farmer here. You’re always a joy.
