I'm all for organic farming, but I know that statistics can be easily manipulated to "prove" anything and I'd like to see more about the details of this study before I'd entirely believe this. It also sounds like too small a data set considering the scale and the number of variables. That aside, I do hope to see an increase in organic so it becomes a standard instead of a novelty.

Organic agriculture is the key to our survival. Chemical laden conventional agriculture is harmful to the land and to us.

Not the right question! And there is plenty of land if managed and shared properly. Globally, both "conventional" farming and organic or modified organic food production systems will have a place in feeding the world. The caloric energy needs of the world's population will be met best by first addressing the uneven distribution of existing food production. The best thing coming out of the grow local eat local movement is that more land now growing food for export markets can be targeted for production of food to be consumed locally by landless or land poor or urban landless.

Please Please tell me Dale Senior, what did you use 50 years ago to fertilize the land? This environment was highly sustainable until technology took over and the Industrial Age began! At the rate we are going the United States will be one huge dust bowl full of dead dirt within the next 50 years!
