		<description>Hi Angela,

I share your sentiments. However, there need be no risk in escaping the chemical treadmill. You are talking about a old paradigm. There is no sacrifice involved in embracing biological principles. There is not the issue of costly transition years that has dogged the organic movement. It is all about taking one step at a time while maintaining profitability throughout.

A simple, risk-free program for broad acre involves an inexpensive nutrition-based seed dressing combined with a mychorrizal innoculum. Your fertilisers are then magnified and stabilized with soluble humates which also serve as biostimulants to boost the all-important soil biology. A leaf test before flowering can then be used to determine appropriate foliar correctives before the business end of the season. These simple steps are risk- free and cost neutral as you can reduce fertiliser inputs due to the increased efficiency. I suggest that you speak to one of our agronomists and trial a small area so you will have have no further doubts about how to move forward.

Conventional agriculture is based upon the ludicrous concept of mastering and manipulating a natural system about which we know so little. As you pointed out, we are part of a natural world and we need to work with Nature rather than against her. Thanks for sharing

Warm regards,
Graeme</description>

		<description>I wonder how we farmers can get off the chemical and fertiliser bandwagon and get back to being one with nature and the land again?  We would love to, but fear the loss of income for those transitional years would be too taxing...It is my dream to send our farm back to where she was, only just 85 years ago.

I believe nature has all the answers to all lifes ailments - we are just not reading the signs and turning to what was miraculously created for us in the first place.  We hold the keys to the door, and in many instances its just a matter of turning it.  We need to learn more about our land from the Aboriginals and the people who rely on the earth - because we do too.

Nature over science anyday - remember, humans are a part of our natural world, we are not segregated so trust your connection to earth - listen to the earth, read the signs, (and articles like this great one) and unlock the secrets that are there, provided by nature, for the taking..</description>

		<description>Exactly right! But I call insect pests and diseases God&#039;s garbage collectors since this amazing complexity of nature didnt evolve but is just another excellent example of God&#039;s intelligent design and creation. Insect pests were put there to protect us from ourselves and our &#039;aberrant science&#039;. The insect pests and diseases come to &#039;take out&#039; food that makes us nutrient deficient and unhealthy with reduced natural immunity to disease. But we are too full of ourselves to recognise God&#039;s hand in it, we make science our god and pay the price for our pride.</description>
