[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 5388802, member: 106748"] But we are 1/3 organic and 1/3 stewardship with no chemicals. Only 1/3 of our land receives chemicals and at a much reduced rate as we rotate with grass. Why is that burying our heads in the sand and refusing to accept the problems? Surely it's a step in the right direction? I know exactly what organic production entails and it's not a silver bullet. Yield is about half, diesel is about triple, plus the cultivation leads to erosion even on medium land such as ours because soil naturally migrates downhill over many years. We have a lot to relearn from organic production that will benefit us but I feel at least for the short term it's not whether all chemicals are bad, it's how can we use a minimal amount and in a responsible manner, that leads to an overall positive outcome for us the environment. There are many posts here in favour of a ban on glyphosphate pre harvest, I feel that must be a good thing. Give credit where it's due and try to work with us, it will be more productive [/QUOTE]
