Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Marty Kraft <martyk@allspecies.org>]

The ag extension people around Kansas City try to help with organic questions and try to apply what they know to my no till attempts. One extension agent made up her own permaculture like degree program. I'm wondering if the move toward organic and more natural methods is catching on. It seems the more intelligent approach and agents who have intellectual integrity should recognize that and inform themselves even if their training leaves it out.

The people in the USDA, research stations, ag extension service all have high tech mentalities. They are "owned" by the multi-national ag corporations.  When there is a production problem, what is the high tech solution?  They never think in terms of a soil problem and a natural solution.  Monsanto knows they are damaging the earth and people.  The tobacco companies knew they were killing their customers.  A corporation has only one purpose:  make profits!  They are not held accountable because they "own" Congress.
