No. Let them do what they want, but it certainly doesn't make the system make any good sense, a system driven by no earth worms in soil, injecting ever increasing chemicals into the soil every growing season to produce the same yield, little to no crop rotation, and the money involved, or the dependence we have on it which is but a drought or disease away from screwing the lot of us without a backup plan because of how controlled it's become.
