That's a rather accusatory and sore question.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the main concern of ethical veg*ans is to abolish animal use and cruelty. Most vegetables are grown with blood, bone and manure - yes, it's true. However, with the world industry as it stands and the fact that alot of veg*ans cannot afford to buy organically and veganically grown vegetables, not everyone makes a fuss over this.
The issue "we" take is of the connection to animal farming - if there were no animals being farmed, products such as this would not exist. We prefer not to partake though some see it as nothing more than a recycled thing.
I think your question is poorly phrased, and given you farm livestock, you obviously cannot relate to our choices. It's offensive that you post this, and if you really wanted to come to a conclusion I'd have thought you'd put more effort into your post and intentions. Try to understand where we are coming from.
Row crop, you say? So the business of millions of vegetarians is unwelcome to you? That's fine, I'll gladly take mine to a local, organic and compassionate farmer.
Bye...
