flatlick farmer - 8/19/2011 09:46 So does spraying fungicides make us poor caretakers of our soils, which in turn makes us poor farmers? I really don't see the connection between the two.
I know well that You do not f-f

You have me hooked. If there is a connection, please let me know. Farming is a combination of all types of practices, not just ones that fit our agenda or what we are selling even if that includes our services. I know of zero successful farmers who don't take care of their soil first. We all realize that without healthy soil there is only a small chance of raising a good crop. We have tried many snake oils over the years that were suppose to improve the soil life. So far, we have discovered that no matter how hard we try, mother nature builds soil better then we do although it is pretty easy to destroy if not careful.
