Hi Jaime
    Long time no see. Hows things? The wording is a bit conuseing as it
referst to other existing rules that arnt clear what they allready say and
while it doesnt specifiacly say direct procucers the vaugness of the whole
thingis reall all that worries me. When wording is vauge something as simple
as washing and bagging greens ( post harvest proccesing ) could under very
vauge wording make one a proccessor. I think what the legislation needs is
some very specific clarifications on who it does NOT apply to growers and
direct to the public sales. Just clear up the wording. Hope all is well in
your neck of the woods give a holler some time.

Mark

  This is a good point...as I read most of the bill, (still want to work
through the last quarter) and I didn't find anything that specifically
talked about "producers" or food, as most of the wording referred to
"processors" of food - of which we do not qualify....right?

  Those of you who are adamantaly emailing, can you give us some of the
specific passages that are bothersome to you?

  Confused,
  Jaime

  What parts are we looking for? Where are the passages of concern? I don't
have time to read it all nor the confidence that i know what i am looking
for.


  Thanks

    This is very scary stuff, especially in light of what has occurred in
the past 6 months, welcome to Stalin's USA--nationalized banks & a seized
food supply.
