	Organic Farming - MSN Encarta
		Crop rotation is more important than in conventional farming, and often a fertility building crop, such as clover, vetch, peas, or beans are included in the rotation to boost soil nitrogen levels.
		In other respects, organic farming is similar to conventional farming: for example, in the United Kingdom, organic crop farmers use tractors, ploughs, cultivators, drills, and combine harvesters; organic dairy farmers use milking parlours and keep their animals in similar types of housing.
		Much of the credit for the modern organic farming movement is attributed to Lady Eve Balfour, born at the end of the 19th century, the daughter of a wealthy British family, who, in addition to displaying talents as a jazz trombonist and pilot, took a keen interest in agriculture.

		Battery cages have wire mesh floors, through which feces passes into the manure pit below, and small gaps in the front, to allow the hens to feed.
		Battery cages are so small, and filled with up to ten hens that they are unable to spread their wings or even lie down.
