I have no issue with organic farming or it being labeled as such.. What I have an issue with is their propaganda machine and which groups they support. They seem to have a disdain for conventional agriculture and their attitudes towards it. If people want organic, fine, but don't spread false information and lies about what we in conventional farming do.
You need to take a good long look at who is really investing into organic production. There are very, very few farms that do not have conventional production that is 2-10x's the size of their organic production. As a matter of fact, every organic producer I know of, ranging from fresh fruits and vegetable to grain to dairy, also has a larger conventional production side. So the last thing they would do is trash conventional production. Could be different in your area, but that is the rule here. |
