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

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

when grown in diversified systems, - another note that premiums may not
last as volume grows
