Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[tradingpost <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

Hey Lynn. We know him. Pastured meat, yes. CAFO's & millions of acres 
growing grain to finish them for market instead of growing food for 
people, no. Plus I seriously question excessive water use for all that 
(and dairy) in drought-threatened watersheds. Eastern NM, heavy in 
dairy, is losing the Ogallahla aquifer. Land is worthless, unsaleable even.
