National certification controlled by the government has been a disaster from
day 1. This was obvious before it became law because it was the non-profit
organizations that really wanted it, and, of course, the government that
never gives up the opportunity to increase its control over us. Beside the
cost of certification to the farmer, we taxpayers also have to pay for the
new bureaucracy that was built to run this new program. Anyway I recommend

certification services, the farmer be damned.
