The Tester amendment to S510 DOES NOT automatically protect small
sustainable farms. Farms have to apply for the exemption, and the
application process can be as burdensome as the paperwork for non-exempt
farms! I do not have space to describe everything that the application
must contain, but the FDA can deny it if they do not approve of the farm
products.

Does anyone know more about this? Pointers to websites or blogs?
