Why I'm Against Organic (read all the way through before you flame)

Quote:
The vast majority of organic feeds contain corn and soy as major ingredients. In fact, the first time I looked at (and several times on other brands since) a lebel of organic feed, it had no other grains than corn. I was significantly underwhelmed.
 
Quote:
Federal regs allow small scale farmers to label things as organic. Only if you reach a fairly high threshhold do you have to be certified and pay out $$. Don;t recall the threshhold for certain, but $10K income stands in my mind. States can ADD regulations on top of USDA regs, and Texas is one of the most highly regulated, so they may well have added on.

Not even in school, just interested in this kind of stuff, I'm actually kind of offended that you would say that, I have a genuine interest in this area and my goal in life is to one day own/operate a diversified sustainable farm. If i was trying to write an assignment i really wouldn't need the help of the internet.

Even if it were a means of collecting opinions--"ammo and fodder"--there is no reason that that is a bad thing.
 
If you haven't already done so, you should register your logon on the TEG forum (link below). We talk about organics all of the time, all year.

Organic labeling allows GMO grains. Should it? Another debate...

PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE please check your facts before making statement that is not true. Organic grains can not be produced with GMO seed stock. Read the regs
 
does anybody know of a website or other resource that has a complete set of the fda definitions and regulations for organic labeling, alot of people are saying "if you check the regulations" or "under organic law it says" and i'm sure most of the statements are true, but I haven't found a full set of fda organic regulations anywhere.
