Lead rewrite

Intro obviously not about Industrial agriculture (crops)--Cerejota 10:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

:Some of us have found that no matter how much effort we put into writing sourced relevant material about industrial farming that it much of it just gets deleted for reasons that make no sense to us even after months of talking. That is very discouraging. It discourages me from trying to better the lead of this article until SlimVirgin agrees that this article should even exist in the first place. See the problem?

::#Please, stop the personal attacks. This is about content, not people. If you think that SlimVirgin is involved any wrongdoing, please follow the dispute resolution procedures.

::#This article has existed for a while, with no AfD challenge, so I do not understand why you claim anyone is opposed to it.

::#No one owns articles in wikipedia, so I do not understand how anything could keep you from making anything better.

::#Please be bold but make sure to keep in mind things like WP:5P and WP:MOS.

::Thanks!--Cerejota 11:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Synthesis

After careful study, I realize this page and the related Industrial agriculture (animals) are WP:SYNTH. They need to be mergesd into the parent page, and then reworked, and then if necessary forked in a more correct form. Thanks!--Cerejota 01:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

:Please will you explain the results of your careful study. Do not disrupt Wikipedia to make your point. Spenny 09:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Physical support and protection of delicate pulses

==Disadvantages==

Herbicide dependence

Herbicide resistance

Increased expense

Increased capital investment

Requires an accurate and repeatable sowing method

Increased fire risk

==Methods==

Precision agriculture

Herbicide plant control/Chemical fallow

Crop rotation

I am concerned that the current revolution in Australian broad acre agriculture does not appear to rate a mention in Wiki. Perhaps someone will correct me if I'm mistaken.

I propose a new section in this article although it may be more appropriate to start a new article. Where should this article be placed?

Above is a rough outline. Nnoddy (talk) 22:26, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Wikidata not proper

The Wikidata entry for this article is currently not configured properly. I do not have time to fix this now and it may not be an obvious fix - I am not sure. I just wanted to note this. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:59, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

:I am sorry to say that I have no idea what Wikidata is all about. Never dealt with it. But I am sorry if I messed something up! Jytdog (talk) 15:23, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
