Thank you for your anecdotal account. Many petroleum farmers suffer from soil runoff. There is also desertification. Also, there is inefficient usage of water draining the acquirers. Note that California monoculture petrol farmers are largely responsible for using nearly 80% of California's water usage. There's also habitat loss for insects & other organisms. There's also pollution of water from the excess nitrogen. There's also the poisoning of the people who eat chemical agriculture foods. Note the obesity epidemic & it's relation to the disruption of gut bacteria. Herbicides & Fungicides disrupt biological processes in humans. You mention "scare tactics". The problem is temporarily mitigated by mining & importing the nutrients. This is inefficient on fossil fuels because we are trucking in nutrients that are available with natural systems. Here's another account a farmer using natural systems to build soil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yPjoh9YJMk&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yPjoh9YJMk&feature=youtu.be His yields increased & he is the most profitable farmer in his local area.
