“There are many fine things we cannot say if we have to shout.” ¯ Henry David Thoreau,
You'll have to forgive me for being in a Thoreau philosophical mood today. My problem isn't with the operations of the BTO or the organic operator,it's with some of the operators themselves. I have good friends at both extremes,but I have big problems with some folks at both extremes too.
I laugh right along with my BTO friends who say that according to MSU I shouldn't even exist. I don't take it as a criticism of my way of doing things,but as laughing at the academics who think they can tell us what we have to do to make a living. I do have a problem with those who think if I don't farm on a large scale that I'm somehow less a man. To be honest,those who think that aren't liked by the other BTOs either.
If somebody wants to live the way they think "nature intended",that's fine if it's their own belief and they enjoy it. My problem is with those who are just following a fad like a religion. If you have to promote what you produce by claiming what I do will kill somebody and that I'm OK with that as long as it makes money for me,I have a huge problem with you.
Give me a laid back old hippy with a hoe,working in his own garden any day over some loud,vocal extremist on either end of the spectrum any day.
