God I love you! That's exactly my problem with all of it. They can't sell it without denigrating what the rest of us do. As far as consumers demanding it,those lies and half truths are WHY they want it and why I call it a fad. I won't participate in anything that can only exist by scaring people in to participating.
Reading all these replies shows so much ignorance and a confusion of terms it's ridiculous. You can be conventional without growing GMO,orgaincs are shipped long distances too,fresh and local don't have to be organic,the list goes on. Inputs are expensive,we all use them as sparingly as possible to get the job done!
As far as having to be a BTO to make a living farming,that's BS too. I've never in my life farmed over 300 acres. I own 240,not all tillable,and paid for it farming. I rent a few small acreages around me,most are 15-20 acres. The largest piece I rent is 40 tillable. You just have to find an enterprise that makes some money and stick with it. No,you can't make a living raising corn and beans on a few marginal acres. That kind of land is suited for livestock. If the enterprises that can make some money from are too much work for you and all you really want to do is play with big toys,don't quit your day job.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Pat Browning. The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
