[QUOTE="martian, post: 5763746, member: 801"] The Burrells, it turns out. But they were taking advice from agents, so perhaps not surprising. There are a lot of estates round the country in a similar pickle, but this is all a bit off topic. Joel Salatin gave a good keynote talk at the Acres USA Conference last week. The subject was 'Can we feed the world with organic farming?'. He gave a history lesson about farming in America, starting with what it was like pre-European invasion...200 million (vegetarian) beavers and an even greater number of bison fed themselves without resort to artificial fertilisers or sprays, in turn several million wolves and other carnivores ate even more meat every day than the average modern American manages to wedge in. There were also a few Native Americans eating a holistic diet. Like a lot of what he says, it was a wind-up, but there's a Knepp-like message in there...Nature will provide, if you let her get on with it [/QUOTE]
