I feel that organic methods are sustainable agriculture. Perhaps we should con
sult the farms that are already doing this on a large scale. I believe one is
arrowhead mills. Other farms, (i.e. Piedmont - CO) are also doing large scale
organic farming.
I recently visited an organic farm on Kauai (Hawaii). At one time, they receiv
ed 24 inches of rain in less than 2 days. This farm was able to market their g
oods the following week while modern farms had lost 2-4" of topsoil.

Buy organic,
