I can't quite get the point from your gramma but I asume you have been taken in by the soil association! As I understand it, starvation is quite bad for you; which would, of course, be the conceqence for millions of people if farmers on mass turned organic. Bear on mind I now harvest over 4 tonnea of bread making wheat per acre, post war they were pleased to get a ton! By the way I am on the front line applying these "poisons" and am in as good or better health than most I know of my age but maybe I am just lucky.
