So?? At least he's advocating a process for many farmers who just can't go
organic/sustainable to the nnth degree overnight. Even organic
certification programs allow for transitions.

Actually, it is an accomplishment--its harder than it appears. Real
farmers, with real farming experience know this. It takes work, tinkering,
research & luck to get any farming method to work. He doesn't claim to be
organic, nor does this list.

Like your pompous statements?? Spittle in the face of sustainable farmers
who are trying & tolerant.

If Round Up were the miracle ag chemical you claim it is, making farming so
damn easy, why isn't agriculture attracting more farmers??

I hope not. I'd be embarrassed for them to read your rude post.
