And you don’t have to owe your soul to the bank or to Monsanto!

Organic farming better for bottom line:
Agronomy Journal…
reports on an 18-year study demonstrating that organic crop rotation
is consistently more profitable than conventional corn and soybean
production, even when organic price premiums are cut by half. That is
very good news for both organic producers and the agricultural economies
in which they operate.
The report is especially important in that it comes from one of the
major U.S. professional trade journals for agricultural research —
not known as a bastion of progressive thinking on alternative agriculture.
