I like your posts Mitchel so don't take this too personally.
This propaganda about nature spontaneously producing food to feed large cities is total nonsense.
Nature rolls the dice. So YES nature created wheat. Selective breeding has produced our current cornucopia.
Have you ever seen a spontaneously germinated field of wheat?
Soy?
Corn?
Alfalfa?
Let's take that last one alfalfa.
Alfalfa in legume and therefore participates in symbiosis with N fixing bacterial. YAY we saved the world!!
NO!
Alfalfa removes K at a rate of 60lb/ton with 5-10 tonnes produced per acre.
SO we take our 100 acre field and let's say we have a decent yeild of 5 tonnes per acre.
100x5x60=30000 or 15 tonnes of K
Mitchel I would like you to suggest where and how to get 30,000lbs of potassium in an organic manner, in extremely rural areas.
It also needs to start availability within the first year, second at latest.
The field will only be tilled every three years for replanting so heavy topdressing is unacceptable in the off years.
Most of the time when you throw the ball to the organo-mantra folks they decide not to play.
Let's see if Mitchel will take a swing at this one.
I really do need an answer to this problem so others please chime in.

I see no reason NOT to get a second use from your beer, or all the crazy amount of protein we eat.
We did pay for it didin't we?

I have never tried to market my Horns as "Organic". and feel I don't need the crutch.

Fire is ORGANIC LOL
I think you hit the truth with the "crutch" comment.
Organic is largely a marketing ploy aimed at uneducated consumers.
What ignorant consumers?
Well how about the box of cotton candy with " TRANS FAT FREE !! " plastered on it?
who,what,why the heck would/should there be shortening in cotton candy?
trans fat bad ..... trans fat FREE is good..... cotton candy is trans fat free.....so......cotton candy is good
there is clearly a lack of critical thinking skills being taught in our schools
SON OF A B I just realized I continue to be off topic.........
