But Arthur, why does it have to be a blanket denial of ALL CURRENTLY APPROVED Synthetics? And what do you suggest one use if not pectin to make an otherwise ...
Dear List, Some synthetics exist because the are BETTER than the natural substances. Better how? More pure. Less likely to be contaminated with off flavors...
Mark, Let me get this right. Your answer to the problem of lower organic standards is to cut taxes? If you can't see "a rational difference between what is...
I completely agree we should discuss this by dealing with specific instances. (I talked about corporate interests because all of the companies that signed the...

Hello Mark, I met Rodney Martin this past week at a pasture walk on his farm. He mentioned that he is buying alfalfa from suppliers in Nebraska. He did mention...
Rodney is only buying in enough of HIGH quality hay so he doesn't need to feed soybeans not his whole winter supply. He makes all the hay/baleage he can off...

Sorry, Mark. I didn't mean to imply that 'N' isn't 'N'. Of course it is. It is an element. The problem lies, as you say, in trying to reduce everything...
