I write about the farming industry for a trade journal. I often cover news about machinery and equipment; my editor just assigned me an article about using a topsoil screener. I'm thinking about including information about the advantages of portable screeners, especially for the larger commercial operations.
I also want to include a segment about organic farming. It isn't exactly a recent practice, but it’s benefitting from the growing worldwide interest in green industries and products. Organic farms are smaller, and in order to be certified organic, they must meet some rigorous requirements as far as their practices in the control of pests and weeds, and what is used to treat the soil, even before anything is planted. That's where screeners come in.
Consumers are paying more attention to what they eat and they are more actively looking for organic food and produce these days. They are willing to pay more for products they believe are more wholesome, more nutritious, and not as highly processed. This trend among shoppers is growing following news about people getting sick from contaminated foods.
Organic food is becoming more mainstream. Major supermarket chains now have organic food and produce sections, and farmers markets are once again becoming popular with shoppers.
