18. I have no doubt he did.
Pre-industrial agriculture's methods were sustainable; they had to be.
No doubt he used their methods in some way or another.

Now with the no-till, chemical soak farming of corn, what's "good for business" is usually bad for the environment.


As for your "peer-reviewed studies", they may be cold comfort when the bubble goes pop. IMHO, the USDA has a serious credibility problem.

I guess time will tell whether husbandry and it's worldview or BigAg and their pseudo-science will be the correct path.

I'm betting the farm on the former. ;-)
