I am a farmer in Illinois. Any corn or soybeans that are grown organic have a much lessor yield of crop. Just wondering what are the advantages of growing ag organically? Just wonder everyone's thoughts.

Organic reduces the need for applied N, corn after corn.
Increases humates CEC, better H2O retention... do you plant a cover crop? Big increase in N (winter rye and vetch). Check out AgriEnergy, Inc. www.agrienergy.net
