A FOOD CHAIN RADIO RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM USDA issued a rule change allowing composts containing pesticide residues to be used in organic farming. But then a federal judge tossed the rule out! And so we ask...
Should composts containing pesticide residues be allowed in organic farming? This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson’s Food Chain Radio Show hosts Stan Mitchell from Pacific Coast Ag for a conversation about organic farming with compost. Topics include why compost is used in organic farming; why USDA issued a rule allowing the use of composts containing pesticide residues, and why a federal judge overruled it; and what the loss of those composts might mean to organic farming.
