Chris Bodnar of Glen Valley farm has written a great essay on the need to use animal-based fertility in organic production. He raises some great questions that are currently being swept under the table. Hope this results in deeper conversation.
See also Gene Logsdon's most recent book HOLY SHIT, in which he argues that there is no adequate substitute for livestock manures if we want to practice a sustainable agriculture.
