Agreed. please return the favor of not putting all farmers who are not
organic in the same basket as conventional farmers. I should have been
more clear in where I'm coming from as an alternative farmer. (1 point
we have all learned from this tread in educating others: don't
generalize-be specific!)

I don't have your literature so I don't know. I talk to farmers and that
is what my information is based on. (another point: balance literature
with experiance. We need them both! Believe me Ann, if I had cows, I be
the first one at your door to learn how to best manage them!)
