Transitioning to Organic Farming

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110222140548.htm

My article addressed the concerns of more US farmers that are converting from conventional agriculture to organic production. It appears that more and more farmers are beginning to make this change due to the growing popularity of organic products. This article focused more on the financial implications of such changes and what it would do to the bottom line. The language of the article suggest that going organic may not be very cost effective. This is surprising to me because at the Feed and Seed stores, the organic fertilizer is always cheaper than chemical. I think these farmers were more concerned with the bottom line, as organic crops may not yeild as much as conventional.
