How is it possible to grow oganic grains?
 
What's the process? You fertilize and plow the fields, then you plant the seeds. Nature provides the sun and rain. And, presto! the seeds begin to sprout. But isn't it likely that lots of weeds, of all kinds, will also sprout? If the grain is to be organic, you can't use any herbicides. And it wouldn't be practicle to pull acres and acres of weeds by hand. So, how do they do it?
