US agribiz is doing all it can to corrupt the whole concept of organic
so it can market sub-standard produce at higher organic prices. Even
WF is not exempt. They plan to create a twenty-six thousand acre
organic farm. As I understand organic agriculture, I don't see how
they can do that and still meet organic stds.
