Tumbledown Farm .9 Acres (give or take an acre or two)

I wouldn't even think to ask the question--because the answer is too obviously NO! on the face of it, by any common-sense definition of the term "sustainable"--if I hadn't been surprised lately by Monsanto's radio ads on the local NPR affiliate.

It is gratifying to see the NY Times start the year with an editorial plea for sanity in U.S. agricultural policy. (A 50-Year Farm Bill) It is hard to believe that the new administration in Washington will hear and act on such pleas. After all, Berry has been making essentially the same case for half a century as a respected public voice; why should we believe that CHANGE will happen now?
