Exploration 12

Fresh gave us a glimpse behind the curtains of our nations industrialized agricultural sector and presented many reasons on why it's dangerous.  The damage to the environment is a very important factor to me when I consider conventional agriculture.  I feel that as a farmer you should know the land and how to care for it.  "Part of our responsibility as stewards of the Earth is to respect the design of nature". It's ignorant to think as the land as just property, especially when livelihood depends on it.  I'm interested to see if there is any legislature that is against this system of farming. No doubt that there would be heavy opposition to it on account of how much influence industry has with our leaders.

  1. I agree with you Dan, were damaging our enviorment because we are not properly using our resources and damaging our crops, and putting them on the market for people to consume.

  2. Well put Dan. And this principle of understanding how your trade works makes a lot of sense and applies to so many areas. When we ignore the little things and forget the basics sooner or later a crash will come and you will get burned for your negligence. Good insight!
