Webinar: The Debate on Hydroponics in Organic
Thank you for getting this information out. It was factually presented. There are 2 farmers in my area that gave up their organic certification this year. I dont blame them as it extremely difficult to compete.
STOP IMPORTS! Or at the very least manage imports reasonably. I don't understand why we continue to buy organic imports? Why don't we do what other countries do, like China? They stopped buying grain from us, why don't we? I had soybeans contracted to sell and the buyer backed out of contract because the price cut in half. I tried to sell to another buyer, and everyone was full and was told to check back 6 months from now. It is hurting the American organic farmer and helping the foreigner. (Much of the foreign grain does not meet the standards of organic and is generally a lesser quality) It just doesn't make sense to me.
Very interested program ,
