Permie, I have seen some great gardening and I am confident that what you have done on 2.5 acres is impressive. Are there any examples of the agriculture you advocate being practiced on the scale of say 1,000 acres?
The reason I ask is that the country's and world's population is large. Feeding this growing planet requires more than gardening and my own experience on a 300 acre farm is that it takes massive amounts of back breaking labor, labor no one wants to do anymore, to practice organic level farming on a large scale.
Then I have to consider the effects of climate change and mankind's ability to adapt or die when our agricultural zones are facing challenges never before encountered.

Assume the best and ask questions.
