There are two food "safety: laws that may be passed in the next couple of weeks, they will affect organic farms. Please ask your congressional official not to pass them.
More info here. www.house.gov.
Bills are:House H.R. 875 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-875
Senate S 425 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-425
There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening. Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto.
Bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food supply".
This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.
If this passes, then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.
There is a video on the subject. http://www.voteronpaul.com/newsDetail.php?Food-Safety-Modernization-Act-HR-875-Criminalization-of-Organic-Farms-222
The 1984 / Doublespeak name on this outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
