You don't have a clue how productive or non-productive my land is.
No, but I know how big they grew their farm out to, and it's unlikely for others to yield more. Entirely possible you do, though, that is correct.
My point is that they didn't shill their pamphlets because their farm was a failure. They reluctantly got into pamphleteering because the local demand was bananas. Others wanted the same results.
Truth is, it's fair, even when amended. Quality of soil can vary. But show me an organic farmer using heritage seeds grow 300+ bushels of corn per acre. I'll wait.
Check out their early stuff, man. The way they did it, yields were higher, and it was a closed loop, and a much less fragile schedule to be on. Like I said, it wasn't all "learn how to grow avocados hydroponically on your apartment balcony" to start with. There's organic farming, and Organic Farming.
I live not too far from Louisiana Delta Plantation. It's not as big as it used to be...When I was a kid, you could saddle a horse at Vick and ride almost to Jonesville, that's around 30 miles and never get off the farm. Past owners have included Prudential Insurance and a Chicago group that included Oprah. The last time it was sold, a couple if years ago, it was still about 90,000 acres.
I don't see how organic methods could be used on big tract farms like that.
