I am ccof organic and have been for years. I
am certified for my customers. the stores need certification to put me in
the organic section. the markets need certification for put me in the
organic section. I do it so my customers know I am inspected and do the
paper work to show I am organic. I dislike the USDA . they release
GMO that are destroying organic growing and yet they own the word organic.
Its a bad deal but its the law. the USDA have the guns and can fine you so
I try and follow the law. Does not mean that is right . it is
a form of slavery you are working for the USDA. the inspector is
working for the USDA and the certifier is working for the USDA. it is like
the mafia is the USDA and you pay they protection money or they make you
pay,. it like the USDA is telling you organic is theirs and if you want to
work that corner you pay off. I have to pay the state of Ca. and the
certifier and the inspector and they do nothing on the farm. they move
paper work. I thought let the people eat the paper. but I have to
pay property tax of they take my land so I need to slave out to the USDA
to let folks know I am organic and I pay off all the bottom feeders. This
year after expenses the inspector the certifier and the state of Ca. made
money even if I did not. I give them their pound of
flesh. I would be organic ANY WAY because I see how do it works for me and
I do want my customer to know I grow organic and can understand why a lot of
folks want organic food. When I can't pay any more because no money
and I old I guess I will farm the same WAY but not be organic because
I don't have the money. YOU have to pay if your a farmer and make
over 5000 a year. that is a rip off but that's the what the government
does they need to rip us off because they don't hoe they don't work all
year to bring in a crop and they have to market it , they just
take our money. so they get the nice house and big car and good life
by ripping off the organic grower and getting protection money. but does
the USDA protect organic NOOOOOOOOO they destroy it. I can understand why
folks that farm organic don't want to bow down to the USDA but I do it because I
want my customer to not panic its organic.
