Out of 153,680 2020 census counted farmers in the state of Iowa 799 of them are organic. The only thing wrong with his statement is calling the other 152,000+ “Farmers” …. They’re fucking miners. Anytime you use more calories than you produce, you’re a miner! Strip mining with no concerns about the environment or anything in it. Fuck you and your disingenuous bullshit.

Wow! I personally don't feel it is a reality calling 152,000 'farmers' (producers) as #^@#%^$ 'miners. Yes I've seen a few, very few, especially in 1980's when so many going broke and no money for inputs. But they only lasted for a couple years. Thx for your intelligent input, everyone has opinion and thoughts.

I don’t offer opinions when it comes to political science or anything connected to the soil. That would be incredibly unprofessional. I am informing you of reality. If you choose, or choose not to learn something, that is on you. If you’re not at least open to the possibility, at least let me know.

I'm always open to learning things. I definitely try to share reality and info. U DO offer opinions on anything connected to the soil. U choose not to learn many things going on with soil. Political science is part of reason we got to where we are today in production agriculture. It's really important to understand history, especially if it something a person needs more knowledge of for certain subjects. It tends to be all related..

If I offer an opinion on soil, I will most definitely qualify. Obviously, you don’t understand my experience. Over five decades of growing in building soil. Paying Keane attention and studying the greatest soil scientist ever. Namely, Albrecht and Walters. Please. You have no idea what I know. I know what I know, and now, I have a fair idea what you don’t know.

Congratulations on building soil for over 50 years. I find that quite impressive. I would be very interested in your sharing your experience with me how it was done and on what scale, what was produced to generate income for like to support a family, pay land costs, etc.? I feel I've worked hard to build, or save my soil, over my lifetime. and adapted ideas to help. I definitely don't know it all but enjoy learning every day. Thank you

Nobody respects professional political scientists. It is stupid tribal blind allegiance, and the illusion of choice that brought us here. Certainly not real unbiased policy driven political scientists.
