On the organic acceptible posts: are not the current pressure treated
posts actually ok by USDA standards?

Many of the folks I work with who want to be compliant with the organic standards don't want to even approach the issue. They'd rather use something that isn't treated at all so that they don't ever have to deal with it. You put a post in for 15-20 years, you don't want rule changes to cause trouble.
