2 Schmidt Farms Inc. 3 rd Generation in USA 2100 Acres in Maryland Corn (biotech & conventional production; formerly certified organic) Soybeans (food, feed & seed) Wheat (feed & seed) Barley (seed) 150 acres Roma tomatoes 160 acres fresh market green beans 80 acres processing lima beans 250 acres of hay 22 acres winegrapes Custom Hire Vineyard Mgt Co. Our Farm Goal = to maximize value per acre producing safe, high quality foods, while preserving and improving our soils and sustaining the family farm for the next generation
3 Who Am I? Farmer, Dietitian, Promoter of Food & Farming 2011 America s Farm Mom of the Year CommonGround Volunteer Board Member 1 st Female V.P. - Maryland Grain Producers US Wheat Foods Council Past-Pres, MD Grape Growers Assoc. Chairman, Maryland Farm Bureau Specialty Crops Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics - workgroup on Advanced Food Technology
4 Food & Farming: Why the disconnect? USDA est The People s Department (90% of the population were farmers) Farmers now make up <2% of the US population Milk comes from a cow?
5 Consumer Influences What s Driving These Trends? Biotechnology Organic Conventional Global Demand Farm Economics Environment Land Capacity
6 Let s Talk Farming Systems Agriculture Conventional: uses Modern technology And mechanization. Stems from Green Revolution Biotechnology: plant Breeding techniques To develop or improve Living organisms. RoundUp/Bt/Stacked Organic: ecological Production system Minimizing off farm Inputs; only OMRI Approved materials.
7 Comparison of Practices Practice Conventional Biotech Organic No-Till Crop Rotation Cover Crop Green Manure IPM Fertilizers Manure Pesticides OMRI

14 Why Biotech?
15 Round-Up Ready Soybeans
16 Pesticide Use Data World and U.S. Pesticide Amounts of Active Ingredient By Pesticide Type Amount of Pesticides Used in the United States By Pesticide Group Top Pesticides by Active Ingredient Herbicide Glyphosate Fungicide Sulfur Insecticide Carbaryl/Sevin Source: EPA, 2007; Brookes & Barfoot, 2012
17 What is a pesticide? Surprising Examples of Pesticides Baking Soda Warfarin Fluoride Hand Sanitizer Canola Oil A pesticide is a chemical used to prevent, destroy, or repel pests. EPA The dose makes the poison Paracelsus
18 Synthetic vs Organic Pesticides Organic Pesticide active ingredient derived from natural materials. Synthetic Pesticide manufactured active ingredient OMRI Lists The OMRI Products List is the most complete directory of products for organic production or processing. Includes over 2,500 products. Natural compounds are not inherently less toxic to humans than synthetic ones. Some of the most deadly, fast-acting toxins and some potent carcinogens occur naturally. Natural does not necessarily mean safe or nontoxic, and it certainly does not mean nonchemical. Handbook of IPM, Weinzierl and Henn, 1994.
19 Oral LD50s Synthetic Sevin 850 mg/kg DDT (banned) 87 mg/kg Glyphosate 5600 mg/kg Pounce 2200 mg/kg (synthetic pyrethroid) Organic Rotenone 60 mg/kg Nicotine 55 mg/kg BurnOut 3000 mg/kg Pyrethrum 1350 mg/kg FYI: LD 50 of Table Salt = 3000 mg/kg (Smaller values indicate a more toxic product!)
20 Conservation vs Organic & Conventional No-Till (L) does not work up the ground before planting.
