 As a organic farmer I sure enjoy reading your posts.  I glad you have a 
computer and are on the internet.  You have so much experience.  Can I 
ask you a question.  I was woundering did very many fruit trees grow in 
the bush country on their own .  I mean in the jungle do some fruit trees 
just grow to be real old without mankinds help except to maybe take care 
of them the first few years when the fruit trees are young.  I always 
felt that if I plant a few good trees and take care of them that at some 
point they would carry on ,on their own. I hear some lychie nut trees 
live to be 1000 yr. old in China.  
Sorry to get off topic : Yes please don't charge us to grow organic 
instead help us and the whole world will be better off.  What better way 
to cut down on poisons then helping the organic farmer. Welcome them 
don't put a extra tax on them for what they don't use.
