The tiny bit of diesel per acre that I use compared to my conventional counterparts is statistically insignificant. Your claim about yields is blatant ignorance. I consistently out yield all of my neighbors and every single crop but corn. Which, certainly doesn’t need to be part of the fuel equation and definitely not human food for the 10 to 15% less that I grow is all fed to animals.

Also, by circumstance, I make half of my diesel from organic soy. A definite negative in the balance sheet. But hey, is it all about money?

Sorry, I was referring to the organic farmers I observe, whether the English or Amish. What crops out yield your neighbors. What part of the country are u located in?
