The Simple Benefits Of Organic Farming

By Rob Sutter


There is a lot of attention that can be brought to the idea of industrial farming, which is something that cannot be written off. In fact, organic farming seems to be the method that deserves the most attention, which I am sure most would be able to agree with. That being said, you may be curious as to what can be done in order to bring this process to the forefront. If you are curious about learning more, there are quite a few stories worth going over.

If you'd like to know, there was one story that was posted on USDA and it brought quite a bit of attention to the efforts that organic farming can call for. Authorities along the lines of Colle Farmers Market know all too well how vital it is for consumers to be able to make the most out of the various crops out there. Carol Huether, a native of Nevada, has been able to do exactly that. She not only focused on such crops but made a business for herself, too.

Three years ago, Huether decided to forego her job, at that point, in the way of managing other businesses and instead found herself in possession of land. With 10 acres in her possession, Huether made it a point to utilize the various assets of Spring Creek, which was easier said than done. According to the article, the location has arid, flat terrain, which means that crops did not exactly benefit from the dust storms that came around. To say the least, it took some work for cultivation to come about.

Huether did not go about the farming efforts alone, as I am sure you can imagine. There was the presence of hoop houses, which are those which seem to resemble greenhouses in terms of functionality. However, unlike greenhouses, hoop houses are fueled not by the specific type of energy but rather the sunlight that seems to be rather prevalent as far as Spring Creek is concerned. I believe that this has been able to come into play tremendously, seeing as how the growing season in the region has extended.

It takes a lot of effort to make the most out of very little, which is where I feel like Huether's story is most fitting. It seems as though she was able to go about organic farming to a tremendous degree, despite all of the limitations that might have been set in front of her. It was just a matter of taking the natural components - sunlight being perhaps the most prominent - and building around them. The results that can come about, in my view, are ones that no conventional farm can bring to the surface.
