  13. We DO need to evolve away from petro-chemical farming. It's not good for the soil, the food, or our health. The mineralic content of broccoli, for instance, is a tiny fraction of what it was 100 years ago. But let informed consumers and clever farmers get there in the natural course of things. Don't burn it down before you've built new ways. All government knows is FORCE. The reason we farm the way we do is BECAUSE government forced things in that direction, without concern for the consequences. Now they decide to pivot because "catastrophic climate change" is their new religion, and they again force things in one direction, without regard for consequences. Let the markets work. Thoughtful people want the food on their tables grown locally, and they don't trust bureaucrats to decide for them what is good, nutritious and safe. They don't know and they don't care. They only care about their jobs within the bureaucracy and are incentivized to push whatever favors the biggest companies, and the bureaucrats go from working in government to working for the biggest companies. Fuel and fertilizer prices will rise naturally over time, and locally-grown will be increasingly profitable over time. Farmers, left to their own devices, with no one to please but their customers and themselves, are the best stewards of the land. They understand how to build healthy soil and maintain it. But they can't operate that way because of bureaucrats. I'm an American, and I have zero trust in the Dept of Agriculture. They serve the corporate lobbyists and themselves. I don't want a stuffed shirt, future corporate employee working for the government deciding what "organic" means. What "safe" means. I want the nitrates and nitrites out of my bacon! I do think agriculture needs to evolve. But not by edict from self-interested parties angling for campaign contributions.
