Wow - that was a daunting read - thanks for posting the link. I get it. I never thought to look up the certification guide . The more you know, right?Sorry, meant to answer you Wee..

It isn't surprising the employee didn't have a simple yes or no answer if you consider the scope of the question. Is it possible for them to track the crop back- yes. When they are purchasing certified organic grains they're keeping track- but- then you'd have to go to each crop farmer and ask them- which they too will have the records of cultivar grown, seed source, as well as having kept track of testing, cultivation practice, etc.
If you're bored.. or curious.. you could try to sprout some of the feed to check germination.
I have a good friend say to me on this type of subject - " Everyone's journey is different, for some people it's simply buying organic cookies at the market that starts the process of re education. You have to respect everyones comfort level of learning."
Thanks for adding to this converstaion. You have a really eloquent way of expressing your knowledge.
