Ft. Ripley MN | So I had to run to town this morning.. personally I don’t do any of that. One post pass of roundup, I did no till some corn so may have to come back with a second pass before the rows close up. I am in no way a greeny, hipster, environmentalist. I was just thinking every year there seems to be more of struggle for some folks pressure wise whether it be weeds, diseases, or bugs. By golly the chemical companies sure have a new chemical that will take care of it.
My question is how is this any different than the pharmaceutical industry?? There’s always a new drug that will cure the latest problem but we as people never truly are healthier. I have a suspicion the soil is the same way… why aren’t we looking at reducing the chemical load it’s taking and looking for natural or even in general different ways to combat the issues??? Is chasing higher yields really cost effective long term if the ground is getting weak and we are wearing out equipment to do so??
I’m sure I’m wrong and have no idea what I’m talking about… but I see it with livestock… and seeing it with the soil, nature seems to have a way of taking care of itself why aren’t we following along instead of spending money to fight it | |
