Thanks Carolyn, I appreciate your perspective, folks are often flabberghasted when I tell them we decertified our organic ground. I often say is wasn’t sustainable for our operation and immediately someone jumps on me and says “what do you mean organic isn’t sustainable?” to which I then reply.,… “That’s NOT what I said”. ?There are numerous reasons why which i won’t go into here but its exactly like you said, one size does not fit all.

Great post Carolyn! I think you did a great job explaining why having different types of agriculture fit the choices and preferences that everyone has.

I wish there was a like button for each of these great comments! 🙂 Fantastic post! I’ll push it out of some of the http://www.AgChat.org channels on Monday so you still get some traffic then. PS I was getting very frustrated right along side of you yesterday!

In reply to wagfarms. Thank you! It's pretty sad when our peers feel the need to put us down. I think that attitude holds many people back from trying something new.

Amen. I get called out frequently for supporting choices, but where are we without choices? Brilliant post!

GOtta tell ya, I don’t think one size fits all in clothes or agriculture. Not even “one size fits most.” In fact, I wrote a post calling the whole idea a BS label. 🙂 http://janiceperson.com/photo/christmas-shopping-bs-labels-one-size-fits-all/
