As of 2001, the estimated total market value of organic products was estimated to be $20 billion. By 2002 this was $23 billion and by 2007 more than $ 46 billion according to Organic Monitor. In recent years both Europe and North America have experienced strong growth in organic farm land. However, this growth has occurred under different conditions. While the European Union has shifted agricultural subsidies to organic farmers due to environmental benefits, the United States has taken a free market ap proach. As a result, as of 2008, 4.1 percent of the European Union’s farm land was organically managed compared to just 0.6 percent of United States farmland. The growth of organic farmland area in the EU was 21% from 2005 to 2008 reaching a total of 7.8 million hectares. Statistics and Emergnig Trends 2009 lists the countries which had the most hectares in 2007.

In total 32.2 mil lion hectares were under organic management in 2007. For 1999, 11 million hectares of organically managed land are reported, In recent years organic agriculture has grown greatly.

W: Would you please describe the nature of your farmM: Sure, I mainly grow feed crops. Feed crops are crops that are used to feed cattle, The crops that I grow are corn and wheat. I do grow cotton and other when the prices for them axe better.W: How many employees do you have7M: I have three full-time employees and six to seven part-time employees.W: Do you pay them hourly or are they salariedM:I pay them by the hour because sometimes they only work a few hours and other times they work many hours. Therefore, it wouldn’t be fair for them to get a weekly or monthly salary year round.W: How many hours do you work as the ownerM: In the winter I work eight hours a day, but in the spring, summer, and fall I work twelve to fourteen hours a day. Many times a farmer’s work depends on the weather. For example, if the crop need water and it hasn’t rained, I must irrigate my fields which can take many hours. At other times, I spend my time in checking my fields for pests. If I find them, I have to apply pesticides. If my machinery breaks down, I have to fix it. Of course, I must also make sure my crops get picked when they are ready.W: If you were to start a new business this year, what changes would you makeM: I wouldn’t make many changes, and the few changes I would make would be subtle. Right now I am a successful farmer. How does the farmer pay his employees().
