No wheat for you!!!!!!

Hmmm organic. Whoops we put hot to much crap on your lettuce and people actually die.

Yep lots of good stories in the coffee shop. You need to do the self test.

Wheats up nice today keep on going!

I hope some Knight in Shining Armour comes and kisses the Sleeping Beauty to wake her up from her long sleepy slumber. $7.00 is now attainable but I "feel"(emotionalðŸ˜marketing) there is a bit of upside left in the wheat market. That's for the top two grades with good Px.

....and then there's canloa, oops I mean canola.

I thought wheat was more like $16.50 to $19.00 for hard red

Those premium prices weren't enough to keep anyone who tried organic farming here in business!

From what I saw, typically reduced yields with some outright wrecks with little to no production. Lost production years using summerfallow to try and regain control of weeds(good luck with perennials). No production in plowdown years to build soil N. Long term perennial legumes in rotation with no grain production.....are you sure those grain prices are high enough in a ten year cycle?

I'll be watching the rich farmers from a neighboring community who are in the process of transitioning to organic. Their neighbors are complaining about thistle fuzz already. They also adopted much more "tillage" and have had their soil drifting...reports of soil in the ditches.

In that link you just posted. They talk about poor prices for organic farms and have certifications canceled. Drift from a neighbor could cancel certification. Certified organic is s joke. It’s against anything synthetic. High seed rates to control weeds. Unless it’s a wet year crop would look good but wouldn’t yield.

Good post, the real world. There's plenty of BTO failures as well but you usually don't try to emulate them now do you. So of course you wouldn't try to duplicate a failed attempt at transitioning to organic either. Plenty of organic growers that don't till or have runaway perennials. No one said it's without risk, it's still farming after all. Difference is you can produce something to be truly proud of that more and more consumers are demanding. It's indisputable that chemical residue in food coupled with low nutrient density has played a significant part in the overburdened health care systems. I'm sure the rich farmer down the road that is transitioning doesn't have dreadlocks.

"Nutrient deficient" conventional crops? Must be the new organic sales pitch mantra.

Keep branding yourself as the superior alternative. Kinda like the placebo effect!

I sure hope you don't eat ANY highly processed foods or eat in any non-certified organic restaurants!

I wonder how much smoking , excessive drinking, sedentary lifestyle, drug abuse, high risk lifestyle, violence, highly processed dietary food have all contributed to an over burdened health care system? Add to that a longer living population....

Enjoy your everyday chemical romance, you're surrounded even if you don't want to be. And I'm not referring to anything in the precedeing paragraph.

Don't tell me, tell the countries that don't want to buy your crap (sorry crop)
