If you are on the side that believes there is a big loss in yield from growing organic than you have spent way more time talking and giving opinions than doing field walks or research. I farmed organic corn and beans for a number of years. Some years I did quite well, some years it was a total bust. I can tell you this,, Some farmers have BETTER yields than their conventional neighbors. The real difference is in the ground and experience. There is a huge learning curve, and you need patience. Not all ground is suited for this practice. I had trouble with to much rain on flat heavy wet soil. Hard to rotary hoe or run a tine weeder in mud. If you have to wait a week to get on the ground the weeds will win. (poor yield) Loamy rolling hills work well from what I have seen. If you cant do a good job farming with chemicals, you will never do well organically. I have been on Organic Farms that have great soil, and great yields. Much better than I have done by spraying. Before you run down someone, or their practice try to remember, this is a very large country. If someone does poorly farming in YOUR neighborhood someone else might do way better in a different place. Unless you have traveled thousands of miles to other areas to do farm tours than you can only give half Azzed opinions. Just look around , some guys are doing really well. And they might even be making money. Al
