You are oblivious to reality...its NOT what I think...its what the consumer thinks...and ridiculing the consumer because they will not blindly buy whatever you decide to provide them and "they'll damb well like it!!!" is not going to get and keep customers...Not at premium prices anyway.
If you want to continue to produce corn at below production costs, more power to you. Me? I'm going to work a little harder and smarter and deliver a product that a few people are willing to spend more $$ on to have it produced in a way that is appealing to them. This 25 year old market is NOT a fad and will continue no matter how much you piss and moan that its not fair.
Who ever said I was selling corn with no premium and below my production cost? You make a lot of unfounded assumptions for a guy that calls others oblivious.
What the consumer thinks absolutely matters. That's why the organic industry should stop lying to them to take their money. I'm not the only one that thinks this way, and you know it.
This article popped up in my Facebook newsfeed last night, a friend liked it. It gets to the bottom of the root of the fear that causes folks like yourself to so vocally defend organics:
