Turning Soil into Profit: The Hidden Economics of Organic Farming
Picture a vegetable farmer earning more than doctors or lawyers. Impossible? Not according to Richard Wiswall's groundbreaking approach to organic farming. While agricultural conferences obsess over the perfect compost recipe or ideal tomato variety, they rarely address what ultimately determines farm survival: profitability. Drawing from decades running Cate Farm in Vermont, Wiswall shatters the "poor dumb farmer" stereotype with a revolutionary message - organic farms can thrive financially when farmers approach their work with business acumen. The fundamental shift isn't about farming harder but farming smarter. Think about it: how many passionate farmers have you known who work themselves to exhaustion yet barely scrape by financially? The problem isn't their farming skills but their business approach. When you plan for profit first, everything changes. The biggest fallacy in farming isn't that organic methods don't work - it's the belief that there's simply no money in it. This mental framework severely limits agricultural success and perpetuates unnecessary struggle.
