Going to take a break from posting and leave people to their devices for a while.
I will post one final thought on last night's exchange. Chemical fertilizers which are used in large scale farming do not impact whether a product can be labeled organic in most states. What impacts the certification as organic are the use of GMO seeds and certain pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides.
Not every state has the same definition of what is organic and therefore, what can be labeled in commerce as organic. Organic in Iowa is different than organic in California for the same crop.
Compost like ECOS produces is not an effective substitute for chemical fertilizer. The amount of compost a farmer would need to spread on his field to get the same nitrogen content and crop production would make the farm field unusable. You can't grow 90+m acres of corn in the US with compost. You can grow a small plot using compost. The market for ECOS compost is really small commercial and residential, not the commercial ag market.
For those who want to know the basis of my views, I have spent most of the last 35+ years working in and advising large companies in the agricultural chemicals, agricultural fertilizer and industrial chemical space. Some small scintilla of market knowledge has rubbed off over this period.
