my local farmer clued me in years ago.....m o n e y
What a racket. No pesticide costs and double the price for a crop....until a hoard of locusts finds your field.
Many years ago when I worked down at the Chicago Board of Trade, in the Soybean pit my bosses took me on a trip with them one weekend. We went on a small plane and flew all over the Midwest to view the crops. We landed in some small town in Iowa to get something to eat. I saw a crop duster flying spraying this one field. I noticed they did not spray this one area. I asked this farmer who was there and he said that’s the Organic section. I laughed and asked, doesn’t the wind just blow the pesticides over to the Organic section. He said, “Hell yes, but they get to charge double and triple the price just for saying it’s organic.” What a rip off.
