102. thanks! well said! I happen to believe that we organic

producers and researchers are a particularly inventive, creative and intelligent group. After all we both figured out how to produce all these crops without the use of the cheaper synthetic inputs. But we also created the entire system of certifying them so that we could fund the more expensive inputs with the sale of these products.

I would add though, that the large scale producers also rely upon a great deal of technical and specialized info along with a skilled labor force- particularly in the maintenance and operation for the equipment that allows their operations to produce at such scale.

In my area we have both large and small farms, specialty and commodity crops mixed in. And lots of plant breeders. There are absolutely no unskilled workers in ag around my parts.
