its really on the politicians - they are the ones who let Monsanto get away
with the abuses they perpetrate on the public - and the Supreme Court who
allowed Monsanto to patent genetic material.

MJ, Most family farms have now slid in to being corporations of one type or
another. Seeing as meditators are yet only a tiny minority stake holder in the
world anyway, and certainly not many corporations are wholly owned by
meditators. We need to change that. Agriculture would proly change in an
amazing phase transition for good if we could get one percent or more of farm
ground ownership in the hands of meditators. David Lynch Foundation should
work on that too to save agriculture and the nation's and world food supply.
Farmers as it is now are not feeding the world as they are sending our good
soil down river. Shame on them.

Would long-term
meditators be this greedy to just use soil this way like dirt? I bet
there could be a scientific chart showing that long-term meditators
are more empathetic to nature and therefore less likely to use Monsanto traited
corn or beans or spray with Round-up. I would bet that corporate
farmers and their surf renters are more likely to use soil this way:

Almost
immediately, he said problems emerged. He noticed that his soil was
becoming harder and more compact, requiring a bigger tractor — and
more gas — to pull the same equipment across it. The yield on his
oats also dropped over time by about half.
“It
took me that long to figure out what was going on,” Mr. Verhoef
said. “What I was using to treat the traited corn and soy was doing
something to my soil that was killing off my oats.”

Buck, thanks for writing about this. I can feel what you're saying in my
hands. Nice change of pace post for FFL and it's so good for us all to know
about this stuff.

Then there is the feel of the soil.
Dirt in two fields around Alton where biotech corn was being
grown was hard and compact. Prying corn stalks from the soil with a
shovel was difficult, and when the plants finally came up, their
roots were trapped in a chunk of dirt. Once freed, the roots spread
out flat like a fan and were studded with only a few nodules, which
are critical to the exchange of nutrients.
In comparison, conventional corn in adjacent fields could be
tugged from the ground by hand, and dirt with the consistency of wet
coffee grounds fell off the corn plants’ knobby roots.
