Here I see it again; a concern about the National Organic Standards being
so strict that they will discourage organic farming. Am I missing
something, or is this just rhetoric from the agribiz sector who want to
get in on the premium prices without changing their ways very much?

Are the proposed standards really tighter than existing organic
standards?
