Do the conventional plots rotate the same as organic plots, are they
in
continues wheat or some other rotation.

Both are first wheats after break. The organic rotations have far more
breaks than the arable ones.

The largest loss in organic
agriculture is the years that the land is in low production rotations
that produce low value or no value crops.

Of course. Some of these are complete losses being, in effect, cover
crops. Red clover is a typical one, with herbiage all ploughed under, in
all-arable organic rotations.

Then for a true picture the total yield in some unit, dollar or pounds
sterling per acre in total yield of wheat, feed, fiber meat and what ever
should be totaled up and divided by the number of years in the study
giving
true value of the output of an organic farming operation per unit area
compared to a conventional or modern farm. Showing how much far they are
really behind modern methods. With total production nearer 25% or less
that
of a modern farm ran in an intensive operation.

Hey Gord, don't forget to factor in the carcinogen and neurotoxin
levels/acre. In that your methodology is way ahead. How's your blood,
anyways? The last farmer I worked for couldn't walk 100 yards because his
blood no longer carries oxygen, thanks to the pesticides he worked with his
whole life. The good news for progressive thinkers, and you're not one of
them, is that the old guard is dying off, and their children's thinking will
change or show in the popularity they enjoy. The writing is on the wall, and
the cost of producing and spreading poison is becoming something only the
very most willfully ignorant can ignore.
