My use of the term "commercially feasible" was indeed incorrect in that sense. There are plenty of independent growers of "organic" fruits and vegetables. What I meant was.. IF we were to try and begin producing ALL(the U.S.) of our food by "organic" means.. it would not work because we would need more land than we have available. That was stated earlier in this thread.
The reason I put "organic" in quotes is because I have read that the term can be applied to lots of products that are not 100% organic. From my understanding, a company has to meet a small set of requirements to be labeled as "organic". To achieve "certified organic" staus is a more costly procedure.
