    I was surprised how every company has their own version of what "organic" means.
    It's a very loose term for some, and the whole "fair trade" thing they are doing now is a scam as well. People truly believe the farmer in Mexico is getting more money because the produce they purchased says fair trade on it, the cartels love fair trade I'm sure.

    About 3 weeks before harvest roundup kills it off so it dries down uniformly. Being they were worth more, I was able to harvest them at exactly the right moisture. Typically soybeans will dry down but the stalks remain very wet and tough to combine. If you wait for the stalks to dry down the beans are too dry.

    I don't do that to my roundup beans being as they aren't worth as much, obviously i would have to use something other than roundup.

    It's more common to do that on wheat.
    Gotcha...I was thinking weed control, not harvest prep like cotton.

    Just like the fair trade scam of coffee, then. where the crappy beans became more profitable but the good ones couldn't get their profit increase they deserved.

    The soybean is a versatile legume.

    And I think we can all agree that Nitogen Fixers are wonderous plants.

    Why do Asians traditionally ferment soy?

    versatile in the sense the BigFood/BigChem can heavily process it into industrial food-like substances, maintainung it as an endocrine disruptor, estrogen analog, softener?

    The "nitrogen fixers" that dominate corporate farming are sellers of nitrogen chemical fertilizer.

    The "nitrogen fixers" that dominate corporate farming are the pushers of nitrogen fertilizer.
