Robert,
This will be my last comment. I'd be happy to take this private if you want to continue to discuss.
I respect that you have been farming for years and done extensive research. But, why is that you think you are the only one who has done research and that your research far exceeds anything the rest of us could do? Why is it that you don't think there is anything you can learn from me? You've never heard of Dynamite products, so that means they can't be good. That makes no sense to me.
I didn't realize I needed your permission to "do my own thing". Wait a minute, this is Independence Day, and God blessed me by placing me in the U.S., where I can do it MY way! So, I'll continue to try to learn from people that actually want to share their knowledge of the organic way. One of the things that attracted me most to Howard's radio program was that he wasn't an obnoxious, rude, no-it-all like that other guy. He truly wants to convert the world, one listener/reader at a time.
Your posts never have a spirit of "sharing knowledge". They have a spirit of "I know everything and there is no other way to do it than my way", no other cows to raise than ones you raise, no other feed to feed than what you feed, no other way to take care of our hay fields than your way, no other minerals to feed than what you feed, no other way to control parasites than your way.
Yes, there are other ways. I think I'll go do some more research.

read everything I can get my hands on by some of
the most knowledgeable people in the world. I just
interviewed Joe Frances yesterday. He is 88 years
young and has worked and learned with the past
leaders that have been dead for 20 to 40 years.
You ask questions and I have shared their knowledge
and mine with you. If you don't like it, do your own
thing.
I have never heard of the minerals you mentioned,
Redmond has been considered the best by people
long before I got involved.
If you don't want to use basic H as a wormer - fine,
but if it is good enough for Joel Salatin, then I will
use it.
I did not question your integrity. It was a figure of
speech.
I use DE in ground up alfalfa + humates.
Good luck.
