David Vetter: The Divine Connection In Organic Farming
"All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” - Chief Seattle. When it comes to our food, there is a divine presence in nature that cannot be denied.
The good health of the environment has afforded human beings the luxury of organic sustainable nourishment long before mankind decided to perfect what has already been perfected by nature with the introduction of GMO’s. Only with good soil health can we produce the life giving food which we need as humans to survive. With the relentless goal to please shareholders, regardless of the potential and proven catastrophic effects, the agro-chemical companies have pushed their propaganda, insisting that without their technology, we will not be able to produce enough food to feed what they claim is an overpopulated world. While most people are somewhat familiar with GMO’s, the companion technology, neonicotinoids, makes them one dynamic duo that makes their existence in nature sheer ecocide: a crime against all living beings. Organic agricultural leaders such as David Vetter have been advocating organics for decades. Organic agriculture is not only better for the environment but is better for human health and is more economic. David is the past president of the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), contributed to the development of organic standards, has conducted organic farm and processor inspections, and has reviewed applications and inspections for certification domestically and internationally. Dave now runs Grain Place Foods milling. He received a BS in agronomy from UNL and Masters in Divinity. Although he never intended to be a preacher, Dave sees a connection between farming and spirituality. Dave has built the business into a $4.2 million enterprise with 21 employees.

Matt McClean: Organic Citrus Farming From Seed To Shelf
The most popular breakfast juice in America is of course, organic orange juice. Packed with Vitamin C, it is a healthy choice no matter what time of day you drink it. However, when it comes to the actual process of how organic orange juice is produced most people have no idea about what it really takes to make organic orange juice from seed to shelf.
In 1999, Matt McLean ventured into the organic juice business with a passion for healthy living as well as a long family history of growing citrus in Florida. Matt’s goal was, and still is, to produce the highest quality juice, using only premium 100% organically-grown fruit that is free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. His company, Uncle Matt’s Organics is the leading producer of premium certified organic citrus from Florida.
Due to the desire to produce locally grown organic foods, many people are opting to start their own organic farm. To have an organic citrus farm, you really need to have a great deal of knowledge about citrus as well as an understanding of how to operate a business. Especially in the organic industry, there are a lot of things to learn before taking the plunge.
In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Matt McClean, CEO and Founder of Uncle Matt’s Organics to talk about operating an organic citrus farm. Stay tuned!
