Comment What it is to be an "Organic" farmer. (Score 1) 921

While it is nice to see everyone getting focused on the health benefits of organic produce, lets remember that when it comes to fruit and veg, these things are just a byproduct of Superior soil engineering (organic farming). From my view as a worm farmer, organic farming is really putting nature back into the system where it belongs. Eating veg that has been sipping on chemical cocktails is equiv to taking home a alcoholic crackhead from the bar. She/he is alive and breathing but only just. Take away the chem and the body dies. Plants, soil and the web of life that supports it are all needed to sustain the cycle of life properly. When you remove the web and replace it with half measures and only the basic chemicals and microbes, you get what you put in. Half baked frankencrop. The current popular methods of farming with chemical magic is old. I think it was about 200 years ago when a fellow figured out that adding N P K to farm land that had been leeched of it's nutrients due to over farming would replenish the soil. It has taken all this time to really understand how devastating this type of farming is to the soil. I talked to a farmer yesterday that recently changed to an organic farming method. He told me that the result of paying attention to the soil first and treating the crop as a byproduct of proper soil managment has resulted in 50% less irrigation, ZERO need for pest control, reduced soil tillage due to an explosion of worms in his soil doing it for him and the best part of all, crops that sell at market with an increased margin of 20%. So in the end, regardless of what the FSA has to say about organically produced crops, there is no better way to farm a plot of land than to do it in a way that is in tune with the entire web of life under and above the soil. To the guy that is going to say that you can't feed billions and do it organic. Bullshit. Prove it.

I don't know if you wanna count this as the first chink in the army but the fact is no-one is flawless. Obama is being surrounded by the same assholes that have been driving this country into the ground for decades. No matter how good his intentions may be, he'll believe his trusted advisers and they will believe the lobbyists, cause they just don't know any better.

Why are you so convinced his intentions are good? He hasn't even started the engine yet.

A new book, Processus contra Templarios, was published by the Vatican's Secret Archive on Oct 25 (07), and promises to restore the reputation of the Templars, whose leaders were burned as heretics when the order was dissolved in 1314. The book ... http://www.scrinium.org/scrinium/Opere.php?idProgetto=3&idOpera=20&idLingua=2 I am not saying that they are gunna get paid nor do I think that they are looking to get paid "We are not trying to cause the economic collapse of the Roman Catholic Church, but to illustrate to the court the magnitude of the plot against our Order." I find the whole thing very interesting. I am a big fan of real history being brought to the forfront in our apathetic, distracted TV culture.
