you have no Idea what I am talking about. .I think the way it worked before
this force stuff was I joined CCOF and IFOAM because I wanted my customers
to trust what I grow. I volunteered to have them come and inspect me and I
know they want organic to grow and like me we want to see this thing work
and we work together we were the volunteers of America and being a
volunteer thing it was like we were asking to be inspected we were glad and
proud to be organic growers .. we volunteered to grow food organic and be
inspected from the folks the industry respects but that all gone now. the
USDA has taken over the word organic and we are no longer volunteers but
forced labor. our inspectors belong now to the USDA there will be no IFOAM
rule book no CCOF list only a USDA rule book it is all to be force now and
the volunteers of America will be working for the USDA the same folks that
bring u GOMs and all the other wonderful things Ag has to offer. there will
be one book the USDA book and you will do what the MAN says and you better
not tell anyone how you grow food unless you pay and jump through the hoops
most all of witch has little to do with the organic of the food. What ever
they make the organic grower do they should make all growers do. no one
wants pesticides in there food no one want farmers that lie if you don't
trust me how can u trust any grower. how do we know what any farmer is
really doing out there . don't single out organic growers how can we trust
any one selling food. your right but you don't take it far enough and in
fact only want to hurt the ones on your side. you single out organic
farmers as the liars how do we know what any farmer is doing. what ever you
make the organic farmer do u must make all growers that sell food do .
every one wants to trust the food they eat the water they drink and the air
they breath. check all those farmers not just the organic ones why only
check them? do you think those that don't buy organic want pesticides in
their food . do you think every farmer out there is using everything like
the label says and law says . come on only organic growers lie. come on
now.
don't just beat up on the organic grower. what ever you make the organic
growers do and pay u must make the all growers do. good for the goose
good for the gander .
grrrrrrrrr
