Welcome to "The Natural Farm" I live on a farm in Kansas. I am in my mid-fifties. My Father was head of Agricultural Engineering at Kansas State University in the 50's and 60's. As a young man I did research in the area of natural farming. However the term "organics" back then was perhaps not looked upon with as much favor as it is today. Today the inquiry is more likely to be "Where?" rather than "Why?" So hopefully we will be able to answer that question with "Here!" in the near future. For those of you who may have some interest in the "Why?" aspect, reference to some of the pioneers of the natural farming discipline are provided below.
