Katherine, I don't know if that was directed at me or not, but I wasn't being sarcastic. I was merely telling you that on a very large scale organic farming is lots of work and an uphill battle. Without very good farming practices your land will be worn out in two years. I too raise my garden crops this way without chemicals or man made fertilizer and know from first hand experience that it is harder to do. That was my point to you. All my fertilizer comes from horse manure which is the best. The chicken manure will burn crops in the same way to much man made nitrogen will, if applied to heavy. It is very hot. I also am in no danger of going broke and having to sell any of my 932 acres,14 tractors or equipment. I come from a family that has farmed in this country for 200 years and none of them have ever gone under until their death. I even raise as much of my hay and field corn without chemicals or fertilizer that is possible. I rotate my crops religiously between corn, beans and red clover to boost nitrogen levels the natural way. I also use as much manure from my 90 cows as I can gather up. I am sorry if you were offended by my honesty, I was just trying to stress that this requires lots of work and very good crop management. I have watched scores of farmers go under, but I am here to stay.
