At a court hearing in Lincoln, Nebraska this week, a judge granted a
continuance, again
pushing back the date for resolving a controversial legal matter that is
having an ongoing
chilling impact upon US organic inspectors. The first case of its kind,

as the date for a
hearing on summary judgment of this entangled matterâ¦
