Treated timbers are not allowed for use in livestock operations. Horses and
some cattle will chew on them. It isn't limited to organic production only.
I assume that they would not be allowed in conventional market food
production
either. When I saw the post, it didn't look like they were a market farmer,
and the government still allows you to poison yourself. It's not something
that I would do, although I am rather fond of creosote. :-)
