Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

Sorry for my black, cynical joke Paul. I just noticed that the article was 
completely about women farmers and I have nothing against women farmers. 
Women are special in farming. Where men can lift more weight for a short 
time it are the women that keep going until everything is done that needs to 
be done. I am sitting here at the PC and my wife is feeding calves in the 
barn as an example. (22:19 p.m. here)
It is just that when we focus on women (and all the pictures were of white 
women) we may forget that the vast majority of farmers and farm workers on 
this planet are not white. And if we could all work together whatever the 
sex or the race it would be an ideal world.
