Rural/Farm Life

i get asked all the time if i am organic. since i have a teenie farm, they just assume that i am some kind of eco-traitor that i dont buy into that stuff.
we are organic first. that's the best i can do.
and i feed purina, not organic feed that doesnt get eaten the way pellets do, leaving plenty of scraps for the mice. and charging me twice as much.
the fact that you dont have to get soil testing of ANY kind tells me it is just greenwashing in a lot of cases.
and hell no i am not paying thousands to have somebody tell me what i already know.

there is a lot that green ag can do for the planet, but it takes money.
the slow growth in permaculture methods requires giving up a lot of near term money. someone has to help fill that gap.

i really think we need to sell "green bonds" to finance this stuff. there will be returns. they should be put back into the planet, and should pay off for those w the foresight to invest in the future.

ps- where are you rick?
