Did You Know...?
Did you know that organic farmers are legally allowed to get manure for their crops from feed lots? This manure comes from animals treated with antibiotics, hormones, and are fed genetically modified food. We were told this recently from a big time, organic farmer who sells pre-started plants, cheese, milk, butter, meat, etc. all over this state. They use this manure (although I'm not clear on why - maybe because it's readily available and free) with their pre-started plants! Organic foods aren't quite what they're all cracked up to be unless... you have grown them yourselves and know exactly what went into that plant.
