[compost_tea] Re: NOP Clarification
Allison -- Thanks for your comment. I may have overstated the "arrogance"
of certifiier options, though, or mistated their latitude. We've brought up
an organic industry with independent private certifiers. I regard them
dearly. The arrogance I suggested is that of USNOP tapping in to them. We
set up a structure the last twenty years that makes it easy for USDA to
certify "processed manure materials" which I still regard as potentially
dangerous. Could be some state ag certifiers either can't move around or
they insist on their own certification, and that manure certifiers are
suspect, too. USNOP is definitely out of date. CT should be supported. --

Subject: NOP clarification
Thanks for the clarification on the NOP, I appreciate all of the
responses. I wouldn't be surprised at all if what was posted on the
NOP website was out of date, it didn't appear to be a very well made
or maintained website. Looking at it again, a lot of the postings
were dated 2002! I'm glad to know about the Compost Tea Task Force
too...that's very important work to get this practice recognized,
can't wait to hear about the results!
Take care,
Alison
