<<BTW, do you know if there is anything to the rumors that the organic farmers' crops are sprayed or otherwise treated by the farmers who depend on their crops for their livelihood, lest the pests circling the "dilletantes'" organic crops contaminate their own? - Holly>>

Har har har dee har. Farmers are cheap bastards and hate to pay for their own spraying, much less paying to spray the neighbors. Then there's the getting sued bit. If a farmer has his nozzels set too fine on a windy day and the spray drifts onto an organic farm the courts will be involved.
