Hi folks;

We are currently purchasing some land, and we will need to install some 
fencing.
I have been looking for non-pressure treated fence posts, but most folks 
selling
fence posts seem to think I am crazy for wanting them, and don't carry them
(black locust, cedar, osage orange).  I thought that you couldn't use treated
posts if you plan to be certified organic, but a number of folks on another 
list
(grazing list) seem to think treated fence posts are not a problem for organic
certification.

Anybody on this list know the story?  Any assistance is appreciated!
