my mind back on farming

After experiencing the brain-numbing effects of childbirth, I am starting to think about ag issues again. During Pasquale's unusually long nap this afternoon, I spent a bit of time catching up on the happenings....

As usual, Frank Morton is a major badass! Check out his response to the Roundup-Ready beets issue.

And, now finally, inside the mind of the amazing organic seed advocate Matthew Dillon.

Also, I just discovered an interesting blog entitled Diary of a Young Farmer by Zoe Bradbury that once worked at Sauvie Island Organics.
