Back to our roots


Isee industrial farming everywhere, all over the American farming states one will see massive industrialized farms. Seeing as how I'm from Illinois I've seen many of these massive corn farms. It makes me think of how much power and fuel it must take to power these places everyday. One would think growing food is a natural and and harmless activity to the Earth, but I simply think that's incorrect. Because farmer use so much oil, fertilizer, and pesticides it pollutes the nearby water supplies and the causes greenhouse effect due to the high oil usage and or fossil fuels usage. All of this is totally unnecessary seeing as how there are farmers whom produce organic produce. Free of pesticides and fertilizer runoff. I believe this is how Americans should be farming, going back to our old roots of natrually growing produce and giving back to the Earth as opposed to leeching from it causing serious repercussions.
