How interesting and rather unique belief coming from an 'American'. Anyways moving along, I generally avoid using blogs as credible links during discussions. Coz you know how blogs can be used and misused. I could easily pull up ones that claim the moonlanding was faked or ones full of 9/11 conspiracy theories. Or that Obama was not born in the US. Of course you dont believe any of those right? <br /> So you wanna discredit the Rodale institute now since it recommends no till? Maybe its in cahoots with the Big Agra? Or are you discrediting the organic industry farming practices as well since many recommend no till? Hmm... what do you think Linn from USA? <br />Also I enjoyed reading your take on USDAs 'war on earthworms', Lynn from USA. That was quite a stretch but fun nevertheless. Anyways I’ll leave you with what Wiki says on invasive earthworms and why they are a cause for concern. I apologize its not a blog source.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworm#North_America<br /> I could pull up peer reviewed papers too but I have a feeling you don’t care much for those since they are all from agri scientists who are in bed with big Agra. Right ‘Lynn from USA’?<br /><br />PS- You fit right in with the beliefs expressed in this blog.

It was developed by Masanobu Fukuoka and organic people favor it, but these days, it is sneak attack on farmers while "sounding" green, just as the article I sent showed. I am sure the EPA is not going to teach farmers to grow crops without tilling ... and with no pesticides. "No till" means pesticides now.<br /> <br />The corporations are trying to take over language, now calling themselves "sustainable" and "green" and "global warming ready." The truth is the exact opposite.<br /><br />In the US, the USDA has earthworms listed as an invasive species, and will surely at some point order farmers to eradicate them.<br />Here is "No till" and Monsanto.<br />http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=no+till+monsanto&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8<br /> <br />The FDA has manure listed as a source of seed contamination but doesn't list chemical fertilizers or pesticides. They are taking over language, turning "food safety" into farmer destruction.<br /><br />Linn<br />USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-89195638536645867482010-06-28T03:19:34.270+05:302010-06-28T03:19:34.270+05:30@ "Linn" "(USA)",
Its funny ...@ "Linn" "(USA)", <br /> Its funny that you think no-till farming is code word for industrial agri because you should check out what Rodale institute says about it. BTW I hope you know that in the USA, Rodale Institute is considered one of the pioneers when it comes to sustainable, organic farming.<br /><br />"No-till farming is great—it protects soils from erosion, builds organic matter and saves the lives of millions of earthworms every year."<br /><br />http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/no-till_revolution<br /><br />"Research has shown that both organic and no-till cropping systems have the capacity to store significant amounts of carbon"<br /><br />http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/20080529/gw1Vandananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-78401993873313842882010-06-27T10:39:10.452+05:302010-06-27T10:39:10.452+05:30Yes, "No till farming" are code words fo...Yes, "No till farming" are code words for industrial agriculture and Monsanto.<br /><br /><br />In the US, look at what the government plans to do to traditional farmers not using it. <br />http://yupfarming.blogspot.com/2010/06/what-obama-hides-under-manure-millions.html<br /><br />Linn<br />USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
