Organic Cotton -- Grown in the USA
Рет қаралды 46,379
11 жыл бұрынOne of our first partners in growing organic cotton in the mid-90s, the Texas Organic Cotton Marketing Cooperative (TOCMC) is still farming strong out on the high plains of Texas. West Texas is prime land for growing cotton organically, because of low insect pressure, a timely freeze to defoliate the cotton without the use of chemical agents, and enough rainfall to dryland-farm a healthy amount of the cotton.

Видно, сбор хлопка доставляет им удовольствие. А я, когда собирал у нас, заболел бронхитом и похудел на 10 кг

I'm so glad that Texas has caught into the Chemical Companies lies about their products. Natural has always been the best and cheapest way plus it keeps Local people Employed and stops the community dying. God bless them and help them succeed in this Amazing venture.

@@tofan2622 Hello Matthew. Here's is what I'm saying, organic methods have overall substantially lower yields which means more land must be ripped from nature to grow the same amount of food. There's no way around it since organic rejects modern methods. Regards.

Growing cotton without pesticides seems to require more land to protect the planet and people. It just seems like a high-end product for a few.

Regenerative is the way. Find out what those "weeds" are doing (or not) to the soil around your desired plant. It's mainly a myth that the "weeds" are competing to moisture. Keep that armor on the ground - especially in Texas.

The farmers in the video act like they don't use pesticides. They do, several of them are more toxic than glyphosate.

@@janevitek-dixon2100 --Because organic agriculture allows certain pesticides including a couple of synthetic ones. Because if they did not use pesticides to fight insects, fungi, etc. they would go broke. You can find many of the allowed pesticides at omri.org.
