N C ILL

sorry to hear about someones bad experience,
i have been certified organic for 8 years, yields are going up and system is working for me, I "survived' 1st year certified with "only $6 corn,100bpa, sold wheat at commodity non organic price, and made money.
yes it is more work and takes more management but the peace of mind and as you can see by the "math" the financial awards are making it possible for me to full time farm 480 acres and do well.
Even if "everyone " got in to organic, i could still make it at lower price / bu.
but don't think we have to worry about that with the reluctance of farmers to raise organic here!
Kinda ironic since "everyone" farmed organic 60  or so years ago, and made it!
