[QUOTE="JohnGalway, post: 7737077, member: 204"] I'm not involved with organic, I am steering my farm on a course away from chemicals. I've commented on this article elsewhere, the first thought that struck me was "ffs, did nothing grow in the world before chemicals". From a farming perspective I find it sad, and not in a way Trump might use the word. There's a lot of verbage and little detail, on practices for instance, there's also a narrative saying there's chem ag OR organic and nothing else. The one gripe which stands up, from my reading anyway, is that the candidate came in on pro chemical platform, then did a fast U turn to this situation today. Agree or disagree with chems, it's obvious to anyone that a lead in time is necessary for any move away from chemical, or the system crashes. Rather than have a go at any system I'd say this situation has been brought about by an age old problem, a f**king politician. [/QUOTE]
