in kind in this case would be to simply insult without making any other point.

Got it?

If you have any other quandaries please ask. I am an ocean of patience.

<<Like what? Suggesting that he SHOULD be a farmer?>>

He could suggest that as I have 350 acres of farm ground. What gets me is city slickers think they know more about farming than farmers do. Organic means containing carbon but has morphed into farming heritage seeds, the old ones, and no chemicals. We could do that but why raise 50 bu/acre corn when we can raise 175 bu/acre corn?

Several years ago they brought out Star Lite corn, GMO, resists corn root worm. Guys like AlGore moaned about how it will kill off all the Monarch Butterflies. I used to see about one Monarch a week 10 years ago, I live in a county with 6 Billion stalks of Star Lite corn and I'm seeing 6-8 Monarchs a day now.
