[Terrapreta] Pure Organics Vs. Biological Agriculture

[Jon C. Frank]

Hi Gerrit,

I want to emphasize that I said half the weight gain, not half the nutrient
content.  I am sure the nutrients would be similar.  My point was that
animals don't like to eat it and do poorly on it.

  The cattle industry died in our area some years ago, before GMO corn came
out.  All we have left are empty silos - tombstones to the beef industry!


  However, I just figured that if the difference in nutritional value was so
much, that I would have heard it talked about by the odd remaining few...I
will ask around.

    This comes from talking to farmers directly.  However, I stand to be
corrected.  Do you have a different experience?

      Do you have some research to back up this statement in your section on
Brix in your web site?


      "Production agriculture has found that it takes twice as many acres of
genetically modified cornstalks to get the same amount of weight gain on
cattle as compared to conventional non-GMO corn varieties."
