>that it is a darn good thing that
organic yields are generally lower than conventional.

This has actually been proven in several long term studies to not be
true over the long run- It seems that due to the long term improvements
in the soil quality due to organic methods are the primary cause for
this-

I have the links for the Nature article of the Rodale study should
anyone want it.

PS in the long term, organic foods are often cheaper than non organic
when grown in diversified systems, - another note that premiums may not
last as volume grows
