so if it is not public safety and not better for the ecology then why force
growers into endless paper work and endless fees and yearly inspections and
other tests and state force and fed. forced certification. seems like
bullshit to me. how can they justify stealing for the poor for no good
reason. just because a few folks get in a little room and frame their
mischief and call it law for no good reason what is with that. organic is
not better organic is not better for the earth so why steal the word organic
from the folks that use it and force folks into endless bullshit. give us
Barabus and crucify the good man. let the polluters go free and kill off
the organic farmer. same old story. folks say they want less government and
for no good reason according to Mr. Glickman the USDA has to join the dog
pile on the poor organic grower. $5000 for a small farm is a joke and those
that do not have much get walked on again. there are so many people with
their hand in my pocket now yet Secretary Glickman wants to bleed the
turnips and for no good reason. give the word organic back to the people.
these are not the droids your looking for. how many pencil pushing
bureaucrats does one have to pay off to be able to tell the truth. they
don't bring in a crop they don't sell a crop they don't mow or hoe they only
line up to suck our blood. we don't need no stinking USDA Ca. state take
over of the word organic we are doing ok now thank you. those certifiers
you are stealing we worked hard for the materials list you stole that is our
list lots of folks paid good money to make up that list and it was not to be
just given away. the USDA is stealing years of our life and a way of living
for no good reason. bullshit Just say no to the fees to the stealing of
our certifiers to the stealing of all our work. Just say no to Glickman
that thinks organic growing is no better then his chemical farming. every
thing u make the organic farmers do you must make the chemical farms do
also. make them summit a farm plan make them have inspections make them
have tests make them be certified and make them show how they farm for the
whole world to see make the GMO growers and the chemical growers track where
they ship to and make all their handlers pay and go through the same shit
our handlers go through and make their processors go through the same shit
our processors have to go through. . good for the goose good for the
gander. this sets the president. If I can track organic food they can
track their GMOs. If I a small grower can tell where my stuff goes for 5
years so can the GMO growers and the pesticide and herbicide growers. they
want to start some shit lets get it on. good for the goose good for the
gander. Lets get it on. Im ready to do just that but every one that farms
must also do the same.
