This is mainly due to the fact that with organic methods it is not necessary to spend money on a wide range of chemicals, eliminating the cost of fuel for the application of substances, but however, just as much is produced, increasing the overall profit line (Delate). Furthermore, there is an ever-expanding organic market. Sales of organic foods increased from $1 billion in 1990 to $26 billion in 2010. Likewise, sales of organic fruits and vegetables in 2010 increased tremendously by 11.8% compared to 2009, despite a slow economy (2011 Organic Industry Survey). Organic farming has also been shown to improve rural farming communities by creating more sustainable local jobs (Hanley). According to a United Nations survey, organic farming provides on average 30% more sustainable jobs per hectare than conventional farms (Can Organic). Furthermore, organic systems favor on-farm processing and direct marketing, which further increases the prospects for job creation. According to the Organic Trade Association, organic farms have an operating revenue of $45,697, nearly double the profit of conventional farmers, which averages $25,448 (2011 Organic Industry Survey). In organic grain and soybean systems in the State of Iowa, although stripped of premiums, more than half of the organic methods were still more profitable. Then, once price premiums were added, the other half quickly made up the differences and outperformed conventional methods (Delate). At FTS they found that organic systems are almost three times more profitable than conventional systems. For comparison, the average profit for organic plantings was $558 per acre per year versus just $190 per acre per year on average for conventional (FTS) plantings. Their most profitable wheat crop is organically grown wheat which earns $835 per acre per year,
