Don't trust the EPA/gov to deam them safe or not. Just ask John Wargo at Yale, an EXPERT on the matter.Check out how 5000 EPA workers themselves said they felt cohersed into OKing some BIG Ag chemical companies products --No 3rd party testing was done, they held illegal private meetings w/o including the experts!! My son was born with his guts outside his body from pesticide exposure. Have you heard of blue baby syndrome?! Have you researched just what chemicals are messing with our fish in the rivers?! Our pollinators?! Our water supplies nationwide?!Arsenic is natural but not safe-DAH. I farm organically, no NOP standards are NOT perfect-again government. I farm using green manures, crop rotation, row insect covers, fish meal, well composted manure vegatatative waste, w/o any harmful addatives organic or made-in-the-lab chemicals!!! FYI lots of organic grape growers are now training sheep to weed they orchards!!!!!!!!!Very successfully. Quit grouping us ALL together negatively, thats stereotyping!<br />Sally Stephensreal "organic" farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841108422843409007noreply@blogger.com
