New Organic Inspection Rules

http://royalcoffeenews.blogspot.com/

Here's a link to a letter Bob Fulmer of Royal Coffee wrote on his blog and
has sent to various specialty coffee interests.

Asking small organic farmers to submit to yearly inspections is to basically
kill organic coffee. Please contact your Congresspeople and ask them to help
stop this amendment. It looks to me like the USDA is gaming the field in
favor of big soybean producers at the expense of small growers of both
soybeans and coffee.
