. It is a
compromising of our future to continue this form of farming that contami-
nates the soil with chemicals. 
Supported by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), scientists from
the University of Minnesota conducted a study into whether crops grown
Crystalized chemicals are clearly observable. They come from continued application of
chemical fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide, etc. on top of a hardened layer of compacted soil.

with compost containing antibiotics accumulate the chemical within their tis-
sue. The observation was that the antibiotics do move into the plants and the
concentrations became higher as the use of manure increased. In particular,
root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and radish that come into direct
contact with soil were far more vulnerable to antibiotics contamination. Use
of antibiotics in the livestock industry is not only contaminating the soil but
also putting the health of the crops and consumers at risk. That is why or-
ganic farming bans the use of such livestock waste. Food going into my
mouth determines my health; manure going into the soil determines the
health of the crops. Eat whole foods for your body and apply wholesome fer-
tilizers for the crops.

Soil Management

2. Roots represent the soil condiion
From buyer to farmer
ere are many education programs on soil management but they seem to
miss the point. Students are invariably left more confused than before from the
deluge of misinformation. Proper soil management is not difficult, complicated,
or expensive. It does not require a multitude of corporate-produced and pro-
moted inputs and machinery. Let us begin from the basics. If you look at a
plant, you have the aboveground part and the underground part. You can see
that the space they take up can be put into a ratio. e essence of soil manage-
ment is making this ratio of underground part to aboveground part higher than
one. at means if the aboveground part is one, the underground part has to be
larger than one. e underground, invisible part should be bigger, larger and
more vigorous.
