I totally agree with Ken on this. I raise chicken and lamb on pasture. We give only naturally raised grains to our chickens and rotate both onto fresh pasture daily. If I could sell more, I could lower my prices! If bad agribusiness makes you mad, don't blame your local farmer, blame Tyson, Perdue, Montasano! How many of your beans and vegetables and rice are raised with seed from Montasano(?) a agrigiant who wipes out other seed suppliers and supplies GMO modified, untested seeds to the farmer and the public. Have you checked the seeds you buy? Are they certified organic, certified naturally grown, certified non-GMO? If they're not, you are adding to the agribusiness giants who want only to control our food supply (sounds frightening? It should, and I'm really not an extremist).
Thanks again Ken, it's what I was thinking!
