Are there good sustainable organic fields , yes most likely but for those of us who actually farm in western Canada, we can tell you they are extremely rare . Good on those who are successful at good clean organic farming , you are a very rare group

No such a field anywhere I have seen the weed patches. Spreading weed seeds is a crime I thought? Sue them

I know a few good organic farmers that don't farm close to me. A couple of them are good friends and we have pretty good conversations with none of the crap spewed like the guy on here. They have to live in the community and making enemies of the neighbors isn't very bright. There is lots to learn from the better organic guys. The organic guys are catering to a different marketplace than the conventional guys are. The biggest takeaway for me is of the relationship building that goes on as there is a lot of pretty shady outfits in the organic business that just don't have the resources to pay on time, etc. Alfalfa acres are a huge part of the better organic guys that add organic matter, provide weed control and add some nitrogen back to the soil. In my area new deep tillage cultivators haven't been sold in a lot of years and the organic guys are very hard pressed to buy new iron. They are extremely careful what they spend on iron as their margins are pretty tight. The close guys really struggle. It's pretty obvious that for most of the organic farms out there in Sask that there will not be another generation taking over as they have left the farm for greener pastures.
