dpurdy,
I couldn't agree with you more. I'm thrilled you are going to do comparisons so you have a benchmark.
I try to grow about 6 months of my own produce a year and for me the real crux of the issue is providing the most healthful food I can while improving my soil. I trust what I grow so much more than what I buy. I also feel that building the soil in a way that creats long term fertility and requires purchased imputs less and less makes me feel more sucure if a real crisis were to occur.
I hope we can keep this thread going long enough to share our progress.
Glenn
