I'm sorry I can't provide a reference, but I read (some years ago) about a organic farm on the East coast. They sold to upscale downtown restaurants and in the space of a two-car garage they had a chicken coop over a pig pen. The pigs ate the chicken poop. They were pulling $x0,000 a year out of 400 sq ft.

The same 1% that won't allow GMO labeling in the food supply is creating bomb-proof crypts in the most inaccessible places and filling them with seed banks.

So after *your* gone they can come out and party like it's 1999.
