Hello. I posted the brief excerpt from the n...Anon,<br />Hello. I posted the brief excerpt from the newsletter just to give people a taste of the content and I believe I correctly credited the source.<br /> <br />There IS disagreement between the parties. Maybe <br />"surrender" was the wrong word for Ronnie Cummins to use. The fact of the matter is there can be no such thing as coexistence between organic and chemical farmers. Therein lies the rub. And if you've done your own research you know that is true.<br /><br />This much I know. Our crops and farming methods do not harm our neighbors. Our plantings do not harm the honeybee hives on our farm. Our crops do not contaminate the Roundup Ready soybeans across the road and affect that farmer's market value. <br /><br />We are proud of what we do and strive to stay abreast of current events and accurately pass along information as it is received and assimilated. The OCA has been a longstanding source of accurate information, but evidently this time the parties involved are taking issue. We shall have to wait and see. One thing is certain, a united front is needed to beat back the bullies at Monsanto and Tom Vilsack's USDA (biotech's man of the year).<br /><br />Thank you for commenting and giving me the link to a different view, which I shall copy and paste into my browser.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-79971873285298278662011-02-01T11:20:14.125-08:002011-02-01T11:20:14.125-08:00I dislike when people post anonymously--it makes m...I dislike when people post anonymously--it makes me not trust what they have to say.<br />Anyway, I was under the impression that Whole Foods was trying to stop the legislation from going through with the alfalfa. On facebook, they were encouraging the public to oppose Monsanto. I will have to research some more. Even so, I support your efforts--who wouldn't?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607291218714097810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-49769634848198219652011-02-01T07:41:48.830-08:002011-02-01T07:41:48.830-08:00You should have done a little more research of you...You should have done a little more research of your own rather than mostly copy/pasting Ronnie Cummins' article, which has serious errors. <br /><br />Here’s a couple of different perspectives on the disagreement between the OCA and the Organic ‘cabal’.

I just don't know.<br /><br />Tony,<br />Thanks for reading and listening.<br /><br />Annie,<br />I'm thinking of starting my own CSA. You're fortunate to have one available to you. It's more important than ever to know your farmer. Yes, I trust what I grow and not much else.
