I suspect it may depend on what kind of farming you are doing. Dairy, crop, livestock, truck, etc.. you just might get an entirely different response from each type farmer and rightly so. Chemicals are not as important to dairy farming as they are to crop..at least the way we are farming in a conventional sense now .. However, the most revolutionary decision might just be in the political realm when "Washington" didn't heed the warnings and economic philosophies of Wilkens who championed 90 -100% parity prices for commodities/farmers in the late 40s. Or to a lessor extent the demise of the Glass-Stegall act of 1999. The result is a commodities market that determines the rather sometimes paltry prices paid to farmers and the resultant damage to our rural communities and the family farms.

There are many passing fads that were called revolutionary in their time..case and point the use of rGBH, which in the final analysis was uncovered to be a sham fostered upon the dairy farmer by the Bio-Tech industry with help by the land grant colleges... which didn't do anything but make more money for the "inventor"... and in the final analysis was "revolutionary".. if making money off the backs of hard working dairy farmers can be categorized as such....
