What I'm reading is that if you depend on something, it's not good agronomy.
What is your source of N for corn? Lets take that away. So now according to you, that means you were dependent on that source. It wasn't practicing good agronomy to use that source.
Dependency and the lack of agronomy in modern retail agronomy are two different things.
You have to buy nitrogen to grow your corn or wheat. Just like you have to buy diesel to run your tractor. That doesn't mean the farmer is bad. I never said the farmer is bad or is doing it wrong. Other people interjected that. Other people inferred that I had a hidden meaning for that. Nope, go reread my posts. I am defending the farmer against the system.
The system is designed to make us dependent. That's not a moral judgment, that is describing the framework of the system.
Modern retail agronomy is part of that system designed to keep selling us product. There's not a whole lot of money to be made off of the farmer if you're agronomist came out and actually helped you fix some of your issues, making you less dependent.
So when I say we are dependent,. I'm talking about how the system is structured, and it's not about the farmers doing anything wrong.
Using the nitrogen sources doesn't make the farmer bad. He's using what's available to him in that system.
And that's where the statement of organic farming at its foundation is based on agronomy and natural systems. Any inputs support the system not define the system.
