I miss your point. Please clarify. What
is the "Big Issue" you're referring to that they're missing?

Subject: [Livingontheland] interesting
page at NewFarm.org
There's an interesting page at NewFarm.org with a lot I
won't comment on, but this excerpt caught my attention. I bring it up
because I have terribly serious problems with what it implies - and
apparently NewFarm, the Rodale's legacy now, still hasn't caught on to the
Big Issue - the most critical thing - in agriculture today. Others have,
why are they so far behind?
paul tradingpost@lobo.net ----------------
Eternal
principles - and the convictions that arise in farmers tied to them - take
a long-term view of caring for land, water, people and other species. These
values are often in conflict with demands for short-term profit and
efficiency, setting up a tension which gives these values-based outlooks
both a winsome vitality and a continuing challenge.
NewFarm.org's
"Farming & Faith" section will feature farmers and groups that
consciously work out of spiritual values to practice regenerative farming.
Common to their vision of agriculture is a depth of caring for the land and
for their responsibility to farm for more than economic profit.
