I doubt you can back that one up. A lot of fancy words saying exactly
nothing. Its "farmers" like you who have tainted the term, coined years
ago when it truly meant organic, regenerative, natural and permanent,
sustainable agriculture; and now you can't let organic agriculture be.
You should consider a career with the Hudson Institute. I've watched your
pompous pronouncements here for years about how wonderful using roundup
is in achieving a "sustainable" form of agriculture. Pure BS.

Organic _used_ to be "the ultimate goal of sustainability" until money
hogs of your ilk got into the act.
