The Fine Points of History

A comment on my earlier post about biodynamic agriculture challenged my statement that it was an offshoot of organic farming. Indeed, the commenter is reasonably correct. Consulting Wikipedia again and more carefully, and accepting everything said there as gospel (of course), Rudolf Steiner apparently antedated Sir Albert Howard . It's not clear whether they influenced each other or not. I'm more familiar with Louis Bromfield. My mother was converted to organic farming by his books.
