Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

And the reason is corporate agribusiness wants family farmers off the land so 
they can keep up their scam and control the food supply and the price of 
food. After all, they pay the ads in the farming publications and endow 
departments in the colleges. Money talks. You CAN make a living farming, but 
their farming advice will ruin you like millions of others. That advice was 
"get big or get out". It was a threat.

The way to survive is:  whatever they say, do the opposite.
