Joel produces more per acre on his hard scrabble farm (that literally started with bare rock a couple dozen years ago), than you do on your prime land. Meanwhile instead of erosion, he has built up several ADDED inches of top soil. Not by shipping it in, by properly managing it.

Just think for a second. If Joel can out produce you on your prime land, what would happen if you used Joel's method on your land, instead of your conventional methods?

Talk about feeding the world!

Information is the key to the sucess of organic living.

People are getting fed, but there insides are not getting any nutrients and causing them to die malnutrition. It's like eating ice cream all day everyday and not knowing it.

They are trying to pass a bill in Texas making you chip all animals.

Really? Last I looked, shipping cheap grain to other places (who often produce the same thing but can't match the low price) actually put people out of business and left people too poor to purchase even the cheap imported food stuffs. Thus increasing starvation. Local/sustainable food may not give us Lays and Frito chips, or heaven forbid Twinkies but it didn't cause the same number of diseases (in the product or consumer) or starvation modern techniques do.

They're both corporations,one's just bigger. If he could scale it to 100,000 acres he would.

Don't be fooled they're both monetizing the process. If we had to depend on small local farms we'd still be a poor agricultural nation fearing the next food instability. Now having said that I prefer growing my own veg and buying/bartering local. Always taste betterfresh. For those with romantic notions of living off the land be prepared to work 2 hours more then daylight and always worry about nature.

I wish there was someway many people could stand up and fight these viscous corporations. 1. These animals are being horrifically treated and 2. The meat of these animals are contaminated with harmful chemicals. I almost now always go buy from my local farm. Whats it gonna take for people to stand up and fight these corporations. I fear that will happen when a devastating Ecoli or salmonella plague will occur
