Production decreases when commercial fertilizer and pesticide use stops. From what I've been told by farmers who have switched to organic, yields tend to be 60-75% of previous yields. Much seems to depend upon how much manure they have access to. The more manure, the less yield drag from a nutritional standpoint. However, the weed pressure still takes its toll.
