Is it bad to have a lot of sources for a research paper?

I wrote a 6-page paper on organic foods and organic farming... I spent a lot of time searching for reputable sources and narrowed them down to about 18 sources for my paper. Is it bad to have this many sources? Even if they are all reputable sources or is this a positive thing since I am able to backup all of information?

Well the first thing I would look for is overlap between resource sources. If there is none, then you have no choice but to cite all of the sources that you obtained your information from. Just remember, there is no such thing as "too much" information.
