Organic weeds! post local pics please

Most organic field weed messes are worked up here yet again
Crop ins must be lenient with them ?

How does Scic work for organic growers. I assume they pay a premium just like the normal conventional farmer, but is there money “pooled” with the conventional growers to keep their payouts coming? Or are their premiums/payout separated?

Just wondering if they are being paid out more than contributing.. more curious than anything.

Lets clear up the organic market illusion once and for all. The only people buying organic anything are urban Karens who watch CNN and CBC. Thats a pretty small market for $50 flax and $30 wheat. Most likely these consumers are anti GMO too, pro climate hysteria, gluten free, anti meat etc.

This is the last group of people I want to fight weeds for.

Most of our production is landing in china, Japan, India, sub saharan Africa, ME, where no Karens are found.

Once in a while we end up with organic produce, simply because we are price conscious and it is at times cheaper than regular.

Our lamb could be certified organic, but we don’t see the advantage of certifying it. A lot of our co-vendors at farmers markets are organic, and do a brisk business. But it’s easier and far more feasible to raise organic garlic on ten acres and do a very good job with the same yields as conventional, than grain farming.

I would wager most of our personal gardens are basically organic.

Don’t confuse organic grain farming with the many other types of farming. Small scale organic is pretty simple, viable, and sustainable.

Remember, one is still a farmer even if one is not a grain farmer with a lot of acres!

I get a kick out of hunters who chat it up about their organic wild game. I didn’t know wild game ate only from organic farmers fields. Ha.

I swear my crops looked organic before spraying. Would have been a terrible year for organic guys with the amount of thistles and foxtail. Wet year after a drought almost sets you back years of weed control organic or conventional.

We have used by the book chem this year and we still have some weed issues. Thats what a season skewed by an entire month can do. Cant even imagine fighting weeds without chem this yr.
