that's what they always say just charge your
customers more money . same old same old. I love my customers . if
you don't like it just quit being organic no one is forcing you to be
organic. I tried to raise my prices this year for the first time in
20 years and it worked out ok. but I did not like it and the
customer does not like it . It is too bad that the customer has to suffer
because he buys organic food in the pocket book but you are right not only does
the farmer have to pay but also the customer has to be charged more. so
you are helping take tons of pesticides off the land and are clean natural
farming but every one that handles you crop even the processor has to be
certified and pay for the same crop I pay to have certified what a game
they double tax organic food and then some. they really like to sock
it to the organic folks for not wanting to buy their poison stuff. they
let tons of poison food come in no one checks and there are lots of people on
the kidney machines there are super bugs from to much antibiotics being feed to
the food people eat yet they can check me every year for the same old trees and
I use nothing. It take the state and the certifier and he inspector just to
check little old me out and I use nothing and I have trees in same place the
only thing that changes is the calendar year what is with that. they get to
all line up and get my money because we went from 06 to 07. they took a
grass roots dream and turned it into a bureaucratic nightmare. the
charge my processor just for packing it overcharge the customer just to buy
organic still we grow 20 percent every year. not because of the USDA but
in spite of the USDA because as USDA are taking our money they are releasing GMO
that are destroying organic food. you know you can plant organic corn and
end up with GMO corn thanks to the USDA they release gene dna altered life forms
and they can not control that life. Organic growers have taken tons of
poison off the land out of our streams and out of our ground water we are
cleaning the air yet what do we get a organic tax. how can they charge us
so much money for what we are not doing. if you don't use poison and tell
someone your crop is organic they make you pay every year till u either get big
or get out. they have it backward they should be rewarding organic grower
and making it easy for folks to buy organic food but noooo they make it easy for
you to buy poison food from who know where with who know what is in it. I
heard antifreeze every band antibiotic yet no one is checking them. why
should I pay for using nothing and still have to compete with folks that don't
pay anyone they are bring cheep food in from all over and they say just raise my
price. If I do raise my price I need that money are u nuts.? I have
been against the USDA program supporting corn and bean farmers that dump tons of
stuff on the earth release tons of living GMOs and fight and regulate the
farmers that help the earth. give me some of that money but no they take
my money because I am a organic farmer. where is the level playing
field. we pay they don't they use poison I don't that is why I
pay. what is with that. you think food is safe forgetabout it.
read the news. check out insecticide in baby food , u go to the doc with a
small sore and they end up cutting off your leg because of supper bugs that have
gotten use to antibiotics fed to your food . I can go on and on
but the just charge your customers more money is what they always say or just
don't say your organic and get out the business that is always their ans. while
the bleed the turnips. it is worse than the mafia. I think the mafia
won and they are the government and this is just extortion.they handle the
gambling ,numbers running lottery loan sharking and extortion. . the mafia
won they are the government. . its bullshit. they can steal my
money or force me to pay or get out and I can just quit being a organic farmer
that is the choice. the USDA are forcing a lot of small organic
growers out of organic and safe food and forcing customer away because of
price what is with that .how is that fair . the USDA should be supporting organic growers
that are taking tons of poison off the earth instead of taking our money for
doing what is right. the whole USDA is wrong supporting the wrong
stuff and taxing the wrong folks and paying the wrong folks say did you hear the
USDA are paying dead folks for farming yet charging me. their whole set up
is wrong from school to farm payouts . they have to change if they
want a safe earth and safe food like they say they want. they should
be paying me for the way I farm not taking my hard earned money because it is
helping the whole earth. our taxes should be going to things that help the
earth not corn syrup that kills people and GMO that are changing life on earth
as we know it. what the Usda is doing now is not supporting the good stuff
and supporting the bad stuff. and I feel that charging the customers more
money and just not saying I am organic is not the ans. it is part of the
problem. why should I have to give up my right of free speech and right
to unwarranted searches and my right to farm because I grow organic
and want to tell the whole world. so don't give me that just charge more
money or just don't say your organic . if you want to clean a
stream up you start at the top of the stream . if the top of the stream is
dirty the whole stream is dirty and in this case the top of the food
stream is the USDA you have to clean that up if you want a clean food
stream. the USDA is a revolving door for the big money chemical and
dna folks clean that up if you want clean food don't tax the folks trying to
clean it up on our own and make our life harder. just charge your
customers more money thats your idea. don't get me
started. \!!!!
