In the spirit of full disclosure, I'm an organic farmer in an area with housing subdivisions and active agricultural land.... row crops and hay. A conventional (chemical) farmer shares the available leased land in the general vicinity of my farm and leased/available acreage. Over the years the "chemical" farmer has sprayed within 50 ft of a housing subdivision with many children and has sprayed when the wind is gusting over 20 mph.. resulting in much drift. I was returning from baling one afternoon driving into a gusty westerly wind .. and I began to smell something sweet. Upon arriving at my farm.. I discovered that the 'chemical " farmer was out in the field spraying and I was evidently doused with the crap. I'm now 75 years old and have buried three of my farmer neighbors....all who died miserable deaths.. atrributed to using farm chemicals with little to no protection. I just returned from baling and drove past my herd of cattle... perched on their heads were copious numbers of birds.. just sitting there picking the flies.. my "chemical" neighbor uses chemical fly control... no birds on his cattle's heads.. no dung beetles and no wild turkeys running around spreading the cow pies... which all happens on my farm. So does he have the curiosity to figure out why.. no, much too proud and he will as well die a miserable death.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
