Probably CONniving den of non-profit, county, state & federal
thieves in a slobbering feeding frenzy at the gov'ment tit,
engorging on fees and taxes unfairly collected from small
organic farmers using their ignorant and uncaring surrogate,
the OgStapo of which they, themselves, are part and parcel.

Hopefully this only describes a small percentage of those
involved with OFPA - weed the parasites out. Put the OFPA
on firm footing to server the needs of all the American people,
not just large agribusiness interests.

Think about the contribution the small organic grower makes to
quality of life in this great country.

The objective is for the OFPA to either raise the small farm
exemption to a reasonable annual income level and/or make
certification affordable for the small grower. Level the playing
field. Make it possible for small local producers to effectively
participate in local economies.
