Can't remember if I read this in Lao Tzu or Wendell Berry:
"The best fertilizer is the footsteps of the farmer."
I guess we lost this when farmers climbed up out of the dust behind Dobbin and entered the air-conditioned lung-saving John Deere cabs. I am not going to ever fault anybody for saving their backs or their lungs -- that's why I keep experimenting here to attempt to figure out how we can have it all, ecological sustainability for the soil and financial and physical sustainability for the farmer.
There sure aren't any easy answers. We might all have to work together and even bring the consumers into the act to find what works.
