Plenty of people are growing large scale organically,there is a huge glut of manure from chicken and hog operations here in the Mid Atlantic States even to the point many places restrict how much can be used.Things like kelp are needed in small quantities for minor elements.Plus things like Sea 90 are made from Seawater no shortage of sea water for sure.Over in Dayton VA 5 pretty good size dairy farms have joined together to have their own processing facility where they bottle milk,make cheese,etc and sell directly to consumers and local stores.Ever heard of legume cover crops? They gather N from the air and store it, the plants next crop benefits from the N and the organic matter. As far as how most crops like soybeans and corn are grown now conventionally its a system that can't keep going like its now done,too many surpluses,and requires the Gov't to fork over too much money to keep it going, the Federal crop insurance programs and others cost the Gov't Billion$ every year.You think that can keep up? Plus conventional farmers costs are rising all the time for fertilizer,seed,chemicals and the demand for what they grow is less so how's that working out?I've been to several farm sell out sales this year they weren't organic type operations.I'll say a farmer in a rural area many miles from the population centers of the country are between a rock and a hard place but for a farm these days close to huge populations the prospects are great really.These suburban and city folks that many in the rural areas seem to despise have lots of money to buy the type food they want and are more than willing to fork the $$$ over for what they want.Things are changing the local organic inputs supplier has gone from a little one room store 25 years ago to now is a very big operation with dealers and outlets in other states says a lot.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
