A few years ago a huge organic operation based in California bought about a 1000 acres from a local farmer who passed away and about 100 acres of it is the field across the road from me. I'm in western NY. I understand the state kicked in some huge incentives for the venture and they sure have spend a lot of money between buying the land, leasing a bunch of big tractors, irrigation system, drainage and about 400 acres has a fence about 10 ft high. I would estimate they have about $10 million spent on getting the ground ready to grow a crop. There was 3 years they couldn't grow a crop waiting to be able to plant an organic crop. This is the first year they could plant and call it organic so the field across the road from me was planted to beets. They were unable to control the weeds and now they are making a crop insurance claim and saying the field is a total loss. I haven't been on a serious farming operation since growing up in the 60's but it sure seems like there is a lot of money kicking around to try and make organic work. How many of you could make that kind of investment and go 3 years without a harvest.
