I don't eat golf courses or lawns, Ish. I realize there is a lot of pesticide runoff from these, and I am concerned,but that does not make organic farming a bad idea.

I think you are trying to imagine organic farming as being like conventional agriculture, where one farmer farms huge plots of just one crop or something. That only works with pesticides, and so it is definitely not the organic model.

Do you have something against more people being employed on farms? Or more farms being in the hands of families? I think those are good ideas, not bad ones. So the fact that organic farming is more labor intensive should be a good thing. Organic farmers get better prices for their crops, so it can still be an economic model that works. If it did not, how can you explain that it is organic farming that is growing by leaps and bounds, not just in America but all over the world?

Did you read the organic farmers' online magazine I posted yet?
