By the by, the precise quote (since I've been so guilty of
imprecision in my previous attribution) from Mr. Signorelli is:
"Here are some of the new directions in which we should be moving.
1. Push for *all* [ital.] agriculture to meet NOSB standards." Of
course, I find the notion that one set of standards be applied to all
farmers in all farming situations preposterous and frightening. I
need to remind the Californians and others in Mediterranean type
climates, that the pest and disease situation is radically different
in the East. Honestly, folks, it's really a lot easier to farm
organically in Californy. And just because it's easier to farm
organically out there doesn't mean that we should abandon food
production here.
