Analyst:?Worldwide grain crunch possible
Rationing grain may not be option for U.S.
March 13, 2011 - By LARRY KERSHNER, For The Messenger
During a national teleconference with media on Wednesday, an environmental analyst said he foresees a long-term looming grain crunch for the U.S.
- Ok, folks... GOT YOUR B.S. DETECTOR ON? This article details the negative effects of conventional farming, yet Lester Brown of Worldwatch Institute still says we can't "feed the world" with organic farming methods.
I say, THINK FOR YOURSELVES and FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Brown discussed why estimating world grain production is becoming more complex, and why there was a time when grain production was on the rise almost everywhere.
However, due to aquifer depletion, severe soil erosion and rising temperatures, the world of stable grain yields is history.
- EITHER BROWN or the WRITER... maybe BOTH ARE CONFUSED - maybe the spin-doctors are spun out:
He [Brown said] there is no advantage in farming organic and went as far to say that conventional fertilizers are not enough to replenish overworked soils.
We don't have enough organic materials in the soil. We are exporting our nutrients and we can't replace them. "Our only (sustainable) source," Brown said, "for fields like Kansas and Iowa, for example, is chemical fertilizers - mines [mined] phosphorus and potash."
- Do you SEE IT, PEOPLE? THE MONEY SPEAKS, over and over again...
"chemical fertilizers - mines [mined] phosphorus and potash"
"chemical fertilizers - mines [mined] phosphorus and potash"
"chemical fertilizers - mines [mined] phosphorus and potash"
