All his links for his business have died since he posted that. What a shame

Good post. The gist was about organic farming and the part that interested me the most was this, "Butler helped design the American Spirit Certified Organic Tobacco program, the first of its kind, and advises organic tobacco farmers and others on certification issues."

There appears to be something about the people who shun chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides and my experience indicates it irks certain elements. There are links near the bottom of the page that lead to certain government sites. Bad omen.

So, since I refuse to use chems in growing my food and now tobacco does that indicate I won't be around much longer?

He was selling processed and whole leaf 6 years ago and now appears to be out of the business since both his commercial websites have expired. Just a shame is all, guess America wasn't as ready 6 years ago
