Proud of your product

Hobby, great points.

Hopalong, those days are still here on our farm, and I beg to differ on the unclean-ness. Our eggs are fresher than fresh, clean, and in VERY high demand.

Our kids are going to know how to grow their own food. They are going to have STRONG immune systems. They are going to know how to work, and enjoy the little things in life.

I am proud to be doing this for my kids, and for our health and to be providing a product that people die to have on their plates. In fact, we are expanding our free range hen business.

Well why are you growing it then? According to your previous posts its for the $$$$$. You're no better then the people you're "calling out" by making this post.

Pourfarmer, the difference is that I don't think I'm producing a product that is killing my customers. I'm just not getting the full potential from all my acres production wise. This is in contrast to some that *think* their product is unhealthy yet are satisfied to continue producing it that way and selling for people to consume.

Read a while back about the importance of humans and soil microbes for health also grounding and balancing ions in our bodies. If you or your kid gets car sick drag a peice of metal it really works. Probably bias my kids compared to city kids make them look like a bunch of handicaps.

Previous posts suggest you may very well be killing people in the sense you're not producing as much as possible. Those kids in Asia are going to bed hungry because your only getting 30bu instead of 60.

I don't think it would be too hard to find a post where you suggest organic production can never feed the world, so why would you contributing to food shortages? You also mention the environmental destruction organic farming causes with its intensive tillage, and don't forget the soil mining. There is also all the "misinformation and scare tactics" you ridicule so heavily yet you participate in the same system for monetary reasons? If this post isn't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is.

I'm glad you've finally come around to agreeing with me Pourfarmer.

[pourfarmer]

huh? I'm saying you can look to yourself to answer the question you initially posted. Farmers do it for $$$$$$$$$$$$$... nothing more, nothing less.

[ado089]

There are plenty of ways to make money farming that align with your belief system.

[pourfarmer]

Exactly! So why are you producing food in for a system you don't believe in? Honest question.

Suppose to be a / between in and for.
