Quote: I've never heard that. Even big hog and poultry operations will use what they pump out of their waste lagoons as liquid fertilizer spreading it on with what we call a "honey wagon". You can't get anymore "organic" than using manure as fertilizer.

Quote: Good luck finding a large number of people willing to do what you suggested. I don't think trying it on a large scale would work very well. Just getting in to the position to do it a farmer would have to have such a large cash outlay I would think most would find it cost prohibitive...

Rotation and leaving land fallow is one alternative, but I don't know a farmer that could do that on a yearly basis and still have any sort of a profit margin. The profit margin shrinks every year as it is. Plus, say it became common practice for every farmer to leave 1/2 or 1/3 of their...

Quote: I think we have been a civil group.... A few heated moments, but all and all quite polite to one another.. I actually do value Katy's viewpoint and learn to be more tolerant because of these debates.. I have opinions against anhydrous ammonia, for two reasons: 1. It is extremely...

I wouldn't say corn and soy are cheap....yesterday at our local coop corn closed over $6 per bushel and beans closed at almost $13......not very long ago we thought $4 beans and $3 corn was good.......of course that's before input costs sky-rocketed too. We used to think $200 per ton anhydrous...

Quote: I can understand how you feel...... I don't put much stock in any study either...from either side.

Quote: I am sorry about your issues because of the DES......I too am a DES daughter altho one of the fortunate ones who did not suffer any ill effects from it. I know it isn't a perfect world as far as testing....but that goes for most everything medicenes included....not just GM grains. No...

Quote: I would imagine their site covers the issues from their standpoint about the same as their opponents' websites cover their opposing view. I guess my point in posting those links was...and I've said this before.....every viewpoint can quote something to support their view whether it's...

Quote: I read a couple of studies that concluded GM DNA can jump from one species to another. Only time will tell. I had read that some scientists are looking into the inert ingredients in Round-up because there is some evidence that it points to infertility, sterility, nerve damage...

Quote: Because as a rule they produce much better. More bushels per acre equals a bigger paycheck. Disease resistance is also a factor.

Quote: Very true.. Studies showed tobacco was not an addictive carcinogen. Eventually a few kept pushing along until one day enough people did not believe the studies provided by the big tobacco companies getting rich of the product.. I am sure one can find examples the other way too, but...

honeydoll........ There is no farmer that has been blind-sided by Monsanto as far as planting their seed......unless they did not read the contract that you sign when you purchase their seed. If they chose not to read it then some of the responsibilty has to fall on their own shoulders for...

Quote: There's a study out there to support whatever a person chooses to believe. I personally don't put much stock in any of them because it's only a matter of time before the opposite of the findings prove to be true.....or at least that's what the new study will lead us to believe.

Quote: I'm all in favor of labeling...let everyone make their choice on what they want to purchase and consume. Not quite sure what you mean with the statement I highlighted. You probably won't believe this, but I've always been very picky about what I fed my kids when they were young and...

Quote: I don't remember anyone ever saying it was going to be easy... but the thing about it, is that they aren't taking the easy way out. And kudos to them for it! Farming no matter what method a person chooses to do is never easy....conventional, no-till or organic. We're at the whim of...
