I certainly do like the concept of organic farming but that booklet
is PROPAGANDA as bad as the crap put out by the chemical and fertilizer
companies. I know of some farmers in this area who have given up on organic farming as the weed problem just overwhelmed them. Trying to fight quack grass and thistles the organic way was totally useless.
I believe in using chemicals if and when necessary but should be a last resort.

Round-Up type herbicides should be used as little as possible and certainly not as pre-harvest treatments as some farmers routinely do.
