I've had 3 people tell me I need to read the article....I missed last Sunday's NYT. Thanks for the post.
***My farmers are saying there will be a third teer "Sustainable". .. not only organic practices but symbiotic with animals.
A biosphere if you will.
 
I just read through it, thank you guys!!! It goes into detail exactly what's going on nationaly. My concern is open pollenators...and loss of seed varieties.
Basically~ organic farms still have problems with cross pollenating with modified plants...
Seed companies have been bought up by major companies and there has been a loss of way too many varieties, not to be a doomsayer but it is setting us up for a catastrophy if a blight wipes out one variety and that is what is grown....
